When an antigen is bound to a MHC class II protein, CD 4 T cells will identify it as self or foreign. If it is foreign it will activate the CD 4 T cells.

IgM is the class of antibody first secreted in response to a new antigen. It is produced during the initial immune response and helps to activate other components of the immune system.

What is the definition of class bound?

Class bound refers to the relationship between an object and a specific class in object-oriented programming. It determines how tightly an object is associated with its class, influencing how the object can interact with other objects and classes in the program. The class bound establishes the behavior and properties that an object inherits from its class.


What part of the cell does tRNA come from?

How can B cell mature into plasma cell?

The surface immunoglotulin that serves as the B-Cell antigen receptor (BCR) has two roles in B-cell activation. First, like the antigen receptor on T cells, it transmits signals directly to the cell's interior when it binds antigen. Second, the B-Cell antigen receptor delivers the antigen to intracellular sites where it is degraded and returned to the B-cell surface as peptides bound to MHC class II molecules.
