The Process of Antigen Cross Presentation is Especially Important In

Question

The process of antigen cross presentation is especially important in:
A)developing a strong antibody response.
B)developing an appropriate response to viruses that do not infect APCs.
C)developing an appropriate response to virus-infected APCs.
D)processing of exogenous antigen.
E)processing of endogenous antigen.

Accepted Answer

Antigen cross presentation is important in developing an appropriate response to viruses that do not infect APCs. This is because cross presentation allows APCs to present antigens from viral-infected cells to CD8+ T cells, leading to the activation of a cytotoxic T cell response against the infected cells.
