Plasma cells eat invading antigens?
false
What typoes of cells produce antigens?
All cells produce antigens, or cell surface markers. The only question is whether the antigens are self antigens which means they belong in the body or they're foreign antigens which means they are an invading bacteria or virus (or a cancerous cell).
Does plasma cells eat invading antigens?
Yes. White blood cells eat the living and nonliving antigens that has entered in your body. They produce antibodies as a result.
Foreign invaders have proteins called?
Foreign invaders have proteins called antigens that are recognized by the immune system as non-self. This recognition triggers an immune response to eliminate the invading pathogen.
What forms in the blood to help fight invading antigens?
White blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are responsible for helping to fight invading antigens in the blood. These cells produce antibodies that target and neutralize foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. Additionally, white blood cells can mount an immune response to destroy these antigens and prevent infection.
What is formed in the blood to fight invading antigens?
Antibody is a protein made in response to a specific antigen. The antibody attaches to the antigen and makes it useless.
Do white blood cells act as an antigens?
No, while some whte blod cells will attack and 'eat' invading patjhogens, an 'antigen' is a molicule.

How does a B cell tell the difference between an invader cell and a body cell?
Antigens work as bar-codes to help the immune system differentiate between body cells and pathogens. Normally the body will not attack its own cells, but is programmed to attack those with foreign antigens.
What two lymph tissue intercept antigens invading the upper respiratory tract?
The two lymph tissues that intercept antigens invading the upper respiratory tract are the tonsils and the adenoids. The tonsils, located at the back of the throat, and the adenoids, located in the nasopharynx, play a crucial role in the immune response by trapping pathogens and facilitating their recognition and response by immune cells. Together, they help protect the body from infections that can enter through the respiratory system.
The cell types that are most responsible for presenting foreign antigens together with surface antigens to specific receptors on the membrane of T lymphocytes are the macrophages and?
dendritic cells. These cells play a crucial role in activating T lymphocytes and initiating an immune response against foreign antigens by presenting antigens to the T cell receptors (TCR) on the surface of T lymphocytes. This interaction leads to the activation and proliferation of specific T cell populations to combat the invading pathogen.
When antigens enters the body?
When antigens enter the body, they are recognized by the immune system as foreign substances. This triggers an immune response, where specialized cells like T cells and B cells are activated. B cells produce antibodies that specifically target the antigens, while T cells help coordinate the immune response and directly attack infected cells. This process helps the body to neutralize or eliminate the invading pathogens.
