name the primary lymphoid organs
thymus and bone marrow

what is pinocytosis
When the dendritic cells use their dendrites to 'taste' the area around them for pathogens

General overview of how antigen is present to T cells?
binding of small linear fragments of antigen which are held on MHC receptors
9 of 14
True or false? T cells help activate B cells into effector b cells? and how?
True. so the b cell will engulf the antigen and then it will express the antigen onto the cell surface - t cell will bind and then activate the b cells

class 1 antigen is intracellular and class 2 is extracellular

which cells binds to MHC class 1 and which one onto MHC class 2?
