<prompt> Which of the following components of the immune system is responsible for the secretion of lymphokines?B lymphocytesEosinophilsMacrophagesT lymphocytes  <response>: T lymphocytes Antigen interaction with T lymphocytes precipitates the release of lymphokines, substances that modulate other aspects of the immune response. Examples of lymphokines include the interleukins, granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor GM-CSF, and y-interferon.
