• B)Mannose receptor-dependent recognition of microbes by cells of the innate immune system
• C)Antibody recognition of microbial cell surface molecules
• D)Natural killer cell inhibitory receptor recognition of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)molecules on infected cells
• E)T cell receptor recognition of microbial cell wall lipid antigens
