Question

Because basophils secrete IL-4 and IL-13 early during an adaptive immune response, they are believed to be important initiators of what type of response?

Answer 1

Allergic immune response

Step-by-step explanation:

Because basophils secrete IL-4 and IL-13 early during an adaptive immune response, they are believed to be important initiators of allergic immune responses. When IL-4 acts on B cells, it causes IgE and IgG1 isotope selection, which both can release chemicals to cause an allergic reaction when an allergen is encountered.
