Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibodies do not perform antigen degradation. Antigen degradation is typically performed by antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, which break down and present antigens to T cells. Antibodies can enhance the uptake of antigens by APCs through a process called opsonization, but they do not directly degrade antigens themselves.
