- Which of the following statements is true of acquired immunity? It does not involve experience and its forms include phagocytosis and inflammation. Acquired immune responses take longer to initiate than natural immune responses. An effective immune response occurs even before prior exposure to a particular antigen. It consists of a number of inborn processes that help remove foreign substances from the body.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about neutrophils is correct? They kill pathogens by producing reactive oxygen species. They are cytotoxic cells that can eliminate pathogens by a mechanism called antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. They present antigens on class II MHC molecules.
