- Helper T cells can be activated by macrophages(which engulf everything indiscriminately) or by B cells (which only engulf antigens that stick to their receptors). A. What properties so macrophages and B cells have ibn common that allows them both to activate T cells? B. It has been suggested that macrophages probably do most to fhte T cell activating in the primary response but B cells do most of it in the secondary response. Why does this make sense?arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the impacts of antigenic variation? Mark all that apply. A. requires clonal selection of B cells B. causes a primary immune response C. involves T-independent immune responses D. memory cells are stimulated by the antigen variantsarrow_forwardA.
