recognize

directly

The antigen is presented by the help of………………….. The antigen must be presented on the surface of APC and be bound to………. There are exceptions.

A

APC (antigen presenting cell)

MHC

32

Why does the immune system require specialized system of antigen presentation for effective immune responses?

A

a Antigenmayenterthroughanybodysite
b.Antigenspecificlymphocytehastocomeincontactwithits homologous antigen (1 in 1 million)—–should locate & react ASAP.

restriction.
