Question

Which of the following statements about activation of B cells is correct?

A. T-dependent antigen triggering of a B cell occurs when an activated antigen presenting dendritic cell directly associates with the B cell displaying the same antigen-MHC complex

B. Antigens that elicit a response with the aid of T-helper cells are called T-independent antigens

C. B cells that are specific for a given epitope on an antigen cannot develop into plasma cells that secrete antibody without the collaboration of T-helper cells

D. B cells can be activated to produce antibody without stimulus from T cell, but he T-independent antigens tend to be polymeric, that is, they are composed of repeating sugars or amino acids and the resulting antibody generally has a relatively low affinity for antigen

Explanation / Answer

I believe the correct option to be

D. B cells can be activated to produce antibody without stimulus from T cell, but he T-independent antigens tend to be polymeric, that is, they are composed of repeating sugars or amino acids and the resulting antibody generally has a relatively low affinity for antigen
