Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 6
Immunological aging due to thymectomy in infancy can place the individual at increased risk for infections, inflammations, age-related chronic diseases, and autoimmune responses as an adult.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4, 6
Antibodies work by four basic functions: 1) neutralization, 2) opsonization, 3) activation of inflammation, and 4) activation of complement. Agglutination occurs when an antibody binds to the same epitope on a different antigen. Phagocytosis is the removal of invading organisms by specialized cells.
