Question
Chapter 22.6, Problem 23WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Weather a separate APC is required for B-lymphocyte activation or a B-lymphocyte able to serve the role of an APC.
Concept introduction:
APC is the antigen presenting cell. There are some cells that are having protein present on them. It is a site where the antigen binds. Most of the cells are present in the antigen-presenting site. The antigen presenting includes the major histocompatibility complexes.

- How does T cell activation differ from B cellactivation?arrow_forwardB cells express a complement receptor that binds to C3b cleavage products, such as iC3b and C3dg. When a B cell with an antigen receptor that specifically recognizes that pathogen also has its complement receptor stimulated because the pathogen is opsonized with these C3 fragments, B cell activation is greatly enhanced. Due to this mechanism, B cells can be activated by much lower concentrations of antigen (in this case, the pathogen) than if the antigen is devoid of complement components. This mechanism functions to: Ensure that pathogens are readily detected by the adaptive immune system before they replicate to high levels in the host Prevent B cells from being activated in response to antigens that are not pathogens Allow B cells to phagocytose the pathogen and help destroy it Induce increased rounds of B cell replication to make more pathogen-specific B cells Allow the B cell to block pathogen replication by interfering with multiple pathogen surface functionsarrow_forwardWhat is the two types of cells that result from activation of B and T cells?arrow_forward
