Define T Cells and their role in organ
transplantation.
Match each of the listed characters below to the innate or adaptive immune system.
1) Fully formed at birth
2) Includes barrier tissues and macrophages, among other defenses.
3) Recognizes molecular patterns that are shared across many pathogens.
4) Serves as the first line of defense.
5) Continues to develop with exposure to new pathogens.
6) Recognizes specific (unique) pathogen peptides.
7) Includes a 'memory' that leads to immunity by recognizing threats that have previously invaded the body.
8) Involves T cells, B cells, and antibodies.
Here is the options:
a) innate immune system.
b) adaptive immune system.
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
