Question
Chapter 35.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The cells and functions that would be deficient, if child were born without a thymus. Determine the functions do cell-surface antigen receptors fulfill for memory B-cells.
Introduction:
The thymus is a gland which is responsible for the development of T-cells which are one of the important types of white blood cells and play an important role in the immune system.

Explain the "antigen recognition by cells of adaptive immunity" in a simple way.
Relate it with Class I,II,III MHC molecules/genes.
Thank you
NOTE: Bullet form
About Antigen presenting cells, it is CORRECT to affirm that:
a). Macrophages, B lymphocytes and dendritic cells are APCs. meaning they express MHC-ll. b). Only APCs present MHC-11. c). Macrophages,B lymphocytes and dendritic cells are phagocytes, but not APCs.d). All the non-APC cells of our body present MHC-1.
Describe the mechanisms for antigen processing and presentation via MHC class I and class
II molecules to T lymphocytes. How do these different pathways lead to appropriate defenses
against different types of microorganisms?
