The main antigen-presenting cells in the body are?
MACROPHAGES
What does not serve as an antigen-presenting cell?
natural killer cells.
What is the single most important event in establishing a primary immune response?
The Phagocytosis of microbes by antigen-presenting cells.
Which cells phagocytize an antigen?
They are "phagocytes." Phagocytes include cells called neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells. NEUTROPHILS - first line of defense mechanisms. MACROPHAGES - second line of defense mechanisms. Phagocytosis is a process by which macrophages (a type of white blood cells) engulf pathogens and cell debris.
What leukocyte is the body's second line of defense against infection?
Leukocytes comprise: 1) Lymphocytes B cells, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, memory cells antibody production, immune activators, cell killer, secondary response 2) Eosinophils anti-parasites 3) Neutrophils neutralises bacteria and fungi 4) Basophils release histamines for allergic inflammatory responses 5) Monocytes Macrophages, antigen-presenting cells 6) Dendritic cells Antigen-presenting cells

What does not serve as an antigen-presenting cell?
natural killer cells.
Which cell is known as antigen presenting cell?
Dendritic cells,macrophages, B cells
Antigen presenting cell?
Antigen-presenting cells display foreign antigens on the cell surface with the hopes of T cells noticing recognizing these complexes. The cells that do this on a routine basis are called Professional APC's. This group consists of dendritic cells, macrophages, B-cells, and certain activated epithelial cells.
What cells express MHC class II molecules?
There are two classes of MHC. MHC I are expressed in all cells except red blood cells (because they lack nuclei). MHC I andMHC II are expressed in professional antigen presenting cells (APC's) that include :macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells.
What is the single most important event in establishing a primary immune response?
The Phagocytosis of microbes by antigen-presenting cells.
Langerhans cells are the mechanism of action of which function of skin?
They are the antigen presenting cells (APCs) of the skin. They capture antigens and then migrate to the lymph nodes where they present to T cells.
What is the type of major histocompatibility marker that's most likely found on a liver cell?
Answer Class II MHC protein. Class II are found in membranes of antigen-presenting cells-phagocytic cells and lymphocytes. The liver performs phagocytosis and antigen presentation.

What are the process of T cell and B cell activation?
T cells (both CD4 "helper" and CD8 "cytotoxic" cells) are activated by antigen presenting cells (i.e. dendritic cells). This involves 3 different signals from the dendritic cell:1. Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) presents an antigen (foreign peptide) to the T cell2. A co-stimulatory signal (checking that it is a "professional" antigen presenting cell) which is a B7 molecule binding to a CD28 on the T cell3. Cytokines (signalling molecule)It is this 3rd type of signal, the cytokines which is important in the creation of the different T cells (CD8, or cytotoxic T cells and CD4, helper T cells).Dendritic cells are able to release different cytokines, which cause T cell differentiation.CD4 cells are presented antigen by MHC class II, whereas CD8 cells are presented antigen by MHC I.
