I have here presented fifteen Multiple Choice Questions from the Immunology sections. These MCQs are collected via various sources and some of the MCQs i have prepared on my knowledge. I have not posted the key (right answers) and the explanation in this blog post, because i believe in active learning and i want you to find the right answers and write the right answers in the comment box below.
After few days i will post the right answers along with explanations (if needed). Let me know.
