Natural immunity initiates the immune response by producing cytokines and other effector molecules. What cells are involved in this immune response?
A) Leukocytes
B) Immunogenic epitopes
C) Natural killer cells
D) Neutrophils
Ans: C
Feedback: Natural (innate) immunity co-coordinates the initial response to pathogens through the production of cytokines and other effector molecules, which either activate cells for control of the pathogen (by elimination) or promote the development of the acquired immune response. The cells involved in this response are monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, basophils, eosinophils, and granulocytes. Leukocytes, immunogenic epitopes, and neutrophils are not involved with this immune response.
