The body’s ability to traffic T cells to a particular tissue is achieved in part through the expression of adhesion molecules (homing receptors). T cells that home to the skin would express which of the following?

While innate immune responses to all types of infections induce local inflammatory responses due to activation of blood vessel endothelial cells, some components of the innate response differ depending on the nature of the pathogen. In the case of intracellular bacterial, dendritic cells and macrophages produce a cytokine that stimulates ILC cells to produce:
Interleukin 2 (IL2) is a cytokine that
Interleukin 2 (IL2) is a cytokine that
