The delay in the initial adaptive immune response to pathogen is largely due to the (inducibility/memory/specificity) of adaptive immunity.
Inducibility
T helper 1 uses what cytokine to coordinate cell mediated immune response?
Interleukin 2
The proportion of (plasma/leukocytes/RBCs), as determined by a differential white blood cell count, can serve as a sign of disease
Leukocytes
Sweat glands produce (lysozyme/dermacidin/acid), which destroys the cell wall of bacteria by cleaving the bonds between the sugar subunits.
Lysozyme
TCRs only recognize antigens presented by APC; therefore, (BCR/MHC/Th1) molecules ultimately determine which epitopes elicit an immune response.
MHC

variable
The ability of the body to respond faster and more effectively to a second exposure to pathogens is called immunologic (memory/synapse/tolerance).
Memory
Phagocytes kill a pathogen once it has been ingested, whereas eosinophils and (MAC/NK/NOD) lymphocytes can accomplish extracellular killing by secreting toxins.
NK
Nonphagocytic (eosinophils/monocytes/NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte which produce toxins to kill abnormal cells.
NK cells
