Q

Process of antigen presenting in a lymph node:

(4 steps)

A
  1. antigen presented in follicle in cortex
  2. T & B lymphocytes are activated
  3. Anitgen Presenting Cells present antigen
    4a. follicular dendritic cells use MCH II to brign to surface of cell

OR

4b. macrophages phagocytose & bring to T or B cell to start immune response
