Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs): APCs are immune cells that capture antigens and present them on their surface to T cells, initiating an immune response.
Identify the common types of APCs: The primary APCs include dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. These cells are crucial for activating T cells by presenting antigens.
Evaluate each cell type in the list: 1. Macrophages are known APCs. 2. Neutrophils are not typically considered APCs. 3. B cells are also APCs. 4. T cells are not APCs; they are activated by APCs. 5. Plasma cells are differentiated B cells that produce antibodies, not APCs.
Match the identified APCs with the given options: From the evaluation, macrophages (1) and B cells (3) are APCs.
Select the correct answer based on the identified APCs: The correct answer is the option that includes both macrophages and B cells, which is '1 & 3.'
