Antigen Presenting Cells Flashcards
1
Q
The purpose of an APC is to
A
capture, process, and display MICROBIAL Ags to lymphocytes and provide signals for the differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes
2
Q
APCs include
A
B cells and macrophages
B cells present Ags to helper T cells in humoral immunity; macrophages to T cells in cell-mediated immunity
3
Q
T cells, B cells, Dendritic cells, Follicular Dendritic Cells, Macrophages
Classify each by APC function
A
APCs include: macrophage, B cells, dendritic cells, and follicular dendritic cells
non-APCs are the T cells
4
Q
Follicular DCs
A
display antigens to B lymphocytes during humoral immune response
5
Q
DCs and macrophages are constituent players in which parts of immunity?
A
adaptive and innate: hence they are the link between them
