Is the statement true or false? Explain your reasoning and use an example. A B cell is only able to present antigen to a T cell that includes the epitope to which the B cell's receptor bound.

Step 1
B cells produce antibodies that can recognize and bind to specific parts of a pathogen, called antigens. T cells, on the other hand, help to activate and coordinate the immune response. When a B cell encounters an antigen that matches its receptor, it can Show more…

True or False? Why? B cells and T cells can both still make productive antigen receptors via V(D)J recombination even if no P-nucleotides are introduced during the process.

True or False The activation of a B cell by a T helper cell results in the production of plasma cells that can produce a few thousand antibodies per second.
