IMMUNOGLOBULIN-
Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are glycoprotein molecules generated by plasma cells (white blood cells). They are an important aspect of the immune response because they recognize and attach to certain antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and help to destroy them.

- Dendritic cells are phagocytic, but also capable of ingesting large amounts of extracellular fluid and its contents, a process known as macropinocytosis.

It is known that T cells can perform a range of different functions once selected by antigen encounter, including secretion of soluble compounds to aid other white blood cells, such as B lymphocytes. If T cells can aid the function of B lymohocytes, then is it incorrect to say that both branches of the immune system (humoral and cell-mediated) involves B cells? I ask this question because I commonly hear that humoral immunity involves B cells rather than both branches.arrow_forwardIn what way does the T cell’s membrane receptors differ from the B cell’s membrane receptor?
