response by:

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
