Activation of a B cell that binds a T-dependent antigen requires

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Activation of a B cell that binds a T-dependent antigen requires interaction with helper T cells and the presence of cytokines. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Antigen recognition: The B cell receptor (BCR) on the B cell surface binds to a specific T-dependent antigen. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Helper T cell engagement: The B cell processes the antigen and presents peptide fragments on its surface MHC class II molecules to helper T cells. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Cytokine signaling: Helper T cells, upon recognizing the antigen-MHC complex, release cytokines that signal the B cell to proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ B cell activation by T-dependent antigens requires assistance from helper T cells and cytokines. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ This process ensures that B cells are activated in a controlled manner, leading to a specific and effective immune response. ⚹◊What is the role of helper T cells in the activation of B cells binding T-dependent antigens?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
