Which of these cell types undergo gene rearrangements after exposure to pathogens? (Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B cells and T cells are part of the adaptive immune system and undergo gene rearrangements in response to exposure to pathogens. This allows them to produce a diverse range of antigen receptors that recognize and target specific pathogens. Innate defense cells, such as resident macrophages, do not undergo gene rearrangements in response to pathogens.
