Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Autoimmunity is the condition when an immune response is generated against self-antigens present in the body. This results in the autoimmune disorder, which may be localized or systemic, depending upon the number of organs affected. Such disorders result in type II, III or IV hypersensitivity and result in damage to tissues and organs. There are several conditions that can result in the development of autoimmunity.

Which of the following statements are true for antigen presentation.
a.
Antigen presentation means that other cells attach the pathogen first and present it to T cells.
b.
Antigen-presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor to B cells
c.
Antigen presenting cells display protein fragments, resulting from the digestion of the pathogen, in complex with MHC receptor on their surface.
d.
Antigen-presenting cells are phagocytic cells
e.
Antigen presentation is required for T cell activation
