Which steps contribute to the generation of antibody diversity in the adaptive immune system?
A
Phagocytosis by macrophages
B
Somatic recombination of V(D)J gene segments
C
Clonal selection of T cells
D
Activation of the complement system
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that antibody diversity is crucial for the adaptive immune system to recognize a wide array of antigens.
Identify that somatic recombination of V(D)J gene segments is a key process in generating antibody diversity. This involves the rearrangement of variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments in B cells.
Recognize that phagocytosis by macrophages is a process related to innate immunity and does not directly contribute to antibody diversity.
Acknowledge that clonal selection of T cells is part of the adaptive immune response but is not directly involved in generating antibody diversity.
Note that the activation of the complement system is part of the immune response but does not contribute to the generation of antibody diversity.
