In general, what sorts of pathogens might be able to more successfully attack a patient with an inability to synthesize B lymphocytes?
Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body.
Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc).
a) True
b) False
What sorts of pathogens could successfully attack a patient who is unable to produce T lymphocytes?
