Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytes have Fc receptors that bind specifically to the Fc region of any antibody attached to an antigen. This allows the phagocyte to recognize and engulf the antigen-antibody complex. Antigen receptors are found on B cells and recognize specific antigens, not antibodies. Antigens are the molecules that antibodies and antigen receptors bind to. Membrane detectors are not a specific term related to phagocytes or immune cells.
