Autoimmune Diseases

Q.

Which is an auto immune disease?

1. Cancer

2. Asthma

3. Erythroblastosis foetalis

4. Rheumatoid arthritis

Q. Both hypersensitivity and auto-immune diseases cause some sort of redness or swelling, due to the elevated immune response. But the main difference between them is:

1. Allergies are more severe
2. Allergies do not involve the immune system
3. Allergies are when the immune system attacks the host's own body
4. Allergies are reactions to a foreign substance

Q. Match the disease in Column I with the respective symptoms in Column II:

Q. In higher vertebrates, the immune system can distinguish self – cells and non – self. If this property is lost due to genetic abnormality and it attacks self – cells, then it leads to:

4. Active immunity
