Which of the following describes the process of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) involves the binding of an antibody to a virally infected or tumor cell, which then activates natural killer cells or macrophages to attack and destroy the target cell. Option C describes macrophage phagocytosis of the virus, while option D describes macrophage attack on the infected cell. Both mechanisms can occur in ADCC, making option E the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it describes Fas-mediated apoptosis, which is not involved in ADCC. Option B is incorrect because it involves cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which are not activated in ADCC.
