Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is true about the generation of antigen receptors in B and T lymphocytes?

  • Recognition of antigens occurs before receptor generation and expression.
  • There are enough genes in the human genome to encode every possible receptor.
  • The generation of diverse receptors is not linked to the process of lymphocyte maturation.
  • The immune system has mechanisms to generate diverse receptors from a limited number of inherited genes. (correct)
