Which of the following is not involved in eliciting an immune response?

  • A.Thymus
  • B.Spleen
  • C.Brain
  • D.Lymph nodes

Answer: C

Correct answer: Brain

The brain is not a lymphoid organ; indeed it is immunologically privileged, shielded by the blood-brain barrier and patrolled by its own resident microglia rather than by circulating lymphocytes. The thymus is where T cells mature, and the spleen and lymph nodes are where antigen and lymphocytes are brought together for a response to begin.
