antigen presentation and T lymphocytes Flashcards
T lymphocyte activation: explain the importance of antigen presenting cells in the induction of T lymphocyte responses
1
Q
what type of cells acquire antigen from tissues
A
antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells
2
Q
process of APC-TCR interaction
A
dendritic cells in tissues acquire antigen → move to lymph nodes → mature and present antigen on MHC class II → T cells detect antigen via TCR and mature to effector T cells
