Question

multiple choice question
enhanced phagocytosis, inflammation and chemotaxis, as well as lysis of cells occurs as a result of

interferon
complement
lymphocytes (b and t cells)
pyrogens

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The complement system in the immune - response can lead to enhanced phagocytosis (as pathogens are marked for ingestion), inflammation (by recruiting immune cells), chemotaxis (attracting immune cells to the site of infection), and lysis of cells (by forming membrane - attack complexes). Interferons mainly inhibit viral replication. Lymphocytes are part of the adaptive immune response and not directly responsible for these functions in the same way as complement. Pyrogens are substances that cause fever.

Answer:

B. complement
