The Receptors on T Cells and B Cells Bind To

Question

The receptors on T cells and B cells bind to
A) antibodies.
B) antigens.
C) natural killer cells.
D) double-stranded RNA.
E) immunoglobulins.

Accepted Answer

The receptors on T cells and B cells specifically bind to antigens, which are molecules that can elicit an immune response.

Note: None of the other options are correct. Antibodies and immunoglobulins are similar terms that refer to proteins produced by B cells that bind to antigens. Natural killer cells are a type of immune cell that does not have specific antigen receptors. Double-stranded RNA can be recognized by certain pattern-recognition receptors, but this does not involve T or B cell receptors.
