Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Nedocromil and cromolyn are mast cell stabilizers used in the treatment of asthma. Aminophylline and caffeine are xanthines. Ipratropium is an anti-cholinergic drug and budesonide is a corticosteroid. Isoetharine is a sympathomimetic drug and montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Interferons are chemicals that are secreted by cells that have been invaded by viruses and possibly by other stimuli. The interferons prevent viral replication and also suppress malignant cell replication and tumor growth. Interleukins stimulate T and B cells to initiate an immune response and to produce more T cells.
