Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An adaptive immune response involves the recognition of specific antigens on the surface of infected cells by T cells (specifically CD8+ cytotoxic T cells) and subsequent killing of those infected cells. This is a key feature of the adaptive immune system, which distinguishes it from the innate immune response (which includes lysozyme production, inflammation, and phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages). Increased flow of mucus is not typically part of an adaptive immune response.
