Multiple Choice

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are effector cells that generally reside in barrier tissues, such as the skin, the gut, and the lung. These cells closely resemble subsets of T lymphocytes, but lack a T cell antigen-receptor. Instead, these cells produce their effector molecules following stimulation by:

• A) Microbial PAMPs that stimulate pattern recognition receptors on ILCs
• B) TNF-\(\alpha\), which is produced during the inflammatory response
• C) Acute phase response proteins produced in the liver during an infection
• D) Cytokines made by other innate cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells
• E) Antimicrobial peptides made by epithelial cells in response to infection
