What is the role of B cells in antigen presentation?

B cells present antigens to T cells by binding the antigen with their immunoglobulin receptor and internalizing it via receptor-mediated endocytosis.

2

How do B cells process antigens for presentation?

The antigen is degraded in a lysosome, and antigen peptides are displayed on the cell surface via the MHC class II pathway.

3

Why do B cells not play a major role in T-cell activation?

B-cell activity is limited to the specific antigen recognized by their immunoglobulin, making them less influential in overall T-cell activation.
