Questions and Answers

Which type of cells are responsible for internalizing antigens in the class II MHC pathway?

  • B lymphocytes
  • Dendritic cells (correct)
  • T lymphocytes
  • Macrophages

What happens to the antigens after internalization into APCs?

  • They bind to class II MHC molecules
  • They are broken down by proteolytic enzymes (correct)
  • They are transported to the cell surface
  • They enter acidic intracellular vesicles

Where do peptides bind to newly synthesized class II MHC molecules?

  • In the endosomes or phagosomes
  • In the ER (correct)
