Learning Objectives for "The Adaptive Immune System: Cell-Mediated Immunity: Cytokines"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1.* Define cytokine and explain what is meant by "cytokines are pleiotropic, redundant, and multifunctional."

2. Name 3 cytokines that regulate innate immune responses by triggering an inflammatory response.
