Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells because they express major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-II receptors, which allow them to present antigens to helper T cells. Neutrophils do not express MHC-II receptors and are therefore not antigen-presenting cells. The options CD8 receptors, MHC-I receptors, interleukin-2, and CD4 receptors are not synthesized by all phagocytic cells and are not directly related to antigen presentation.
