Role of lymphocytes - 2
•B-Lymphocyte participation in immune response by:
•ebinding unprocessed antigen to B cell receptors with same specificity (antigen recognition)
•ethis antigen recognition is not MHC restricted
•ethis binding of antigen does not cause an immune response
•eBCR=s cannot differentiate between foreign and self-antigens
•B-cell and T-cell interaction
•erequires Thelper cells (CD4+) interaction
•erequires cytokines interaction
•erequires B-cell to act as APC
