Which type of cells are the most specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the immune system?
Dendritic cells
Which cells respond to microbes by producing surface proteins called costimulators, which are required, together with antigen, to activate naive T lymphocytes to proliferate and differentiate into effector cells?
Dendritic cells
Which cells are the most potent stimulators of naive T cells and the most efficient initiators of T cell responses?
Dendritic cells
Which specialized cells capture antigens of microbes that cross epithelial barriers and transport these antigens to regional lymph nodes, where they display fragments of the proteins for recognition by T lymphocytes?
Dendritic cells
Which cells may directly recognize the antigens of microbes (either released or on the surface of the microbes)?
B cells
Which cells present antigens to differentiated effector T cells in various immune responses?
Macrophages
Which type of cell resides in the germinal centers of lymphoid follicles in the peripheral lymphoid organs and displays antigens that stimulate the differentiation of B cells in the follicles?
Follicular dendritic cell (FDC)
Which type of cells capture microbes or their antigens that enter lymphoid organs, and present them to lymphocytes?
Macrophages and dendritic cells
Which cells may be phagocytosed and presented by tissue macrophages if a microbe has invaded through the epithelium?
Macrophages
Which type of cells display antigens that stimulate the differentiation of B cells in the follicles, but do not present antigens to T cells?
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs)
Which type of cells contain specialized cells located in the epithelium that capture antigens, transport them to peripheral lymphoid tissues, and display (present) them to lymphocytes?
Dendritic cells
Which type of cells present antigens to B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs?
Macrophages and dendritic cells
"Mastering the Immune System: Understanding Antigen Capture and Presentation" quiz will test your knowledge about the specialized cells located in the epithelium that capture antigens, their transport to peripheral lymphoid tissues, and the subsequent presentation to lymphocytes. This quiz is ideal for students, medical professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the initial steps of adaptive immune responses against antigens. Keywords: immune system, antigen capture, presentation, lymphocytes, adaptive immune response.
