Choose the following with the proper order of immune system activation.
A
B cell → T cell → Dendritic cell → infection
B
Infection → T cell → Dendritic cell → B cell
C
Infection → dendritic cell → T cell → B cell
D
Infection → B cell → dendritic cell → T cell
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the initial trigger for the immune response, which is the 'Infection'. This is the starting point for the activation of the immune system.
Recognize the role of 'Dendritic cells' as antigen-presenting cells. They are among the first to respond to an infection by capturing antigens and presenting them to T cells.
Understand that 'T cells' are activated by the dendritic cells. This activation is crucial for the adaptive immune response, as T cells help in orchestrating the immune response.
Acknowledge the role of 'B cells' which are activated by T cells. Once activated, B cells can differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies specific to the pathogen.
Review the correct sequence of immune system activation: Infection → Dendritic cell → T cell → B cell. This order reflects the typical pathway of immune activation in response to a pathogen.
