Immune complexes are removed from blood by which of the following cells?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the mechanism by which immune complexes are removed from the blood, specifically which type of cell is responsible for this process. It lists several cell types as options for the answer.

More Information

Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver that play a key role in removing immune complexes from the blood.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing immune response functions of different immune cells, such as B cells, which produce antibodies but do not directly remove complexes.
