What does an antigen-presenting cell do? How do other cells recognize the antigen-presenting cell as a “friend”?
Answer:-
An antigen presenting cell engulfs foreign particles, digest them and present fragments of the antigen in its surface. The most common type are macrophages and activated B-cells. They are recognized by an antigen-MHC complex on their surface that allows them to have self markers along with the antigen fragments.
