Question

alpha/beta T cells recognize antigen when the antigen: A) bears epitopes derived from proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. B) is internalized by T cells via phagocytosis and subsequently binds to T-cell receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum C) forms a complex with membrane-bound MHC molecules on the T cell D) is presented within the context of membrane bound MHC molecules, E) is presented on the surface of a B cell on membrane-bound immunoglobulins.
