This flashcard defines and provides examples of specialized cells that process antigens and present them on their surface, along with co-stimulatory proteins, to activate naive T cells. Examples given are dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells.
Estas células especializadas procesan antígenos y presentan fragmentos de péptidos en su superficie junto con otras proteínas coestimuladoras necesarias para activar los linfocitos T vírgenes. Ejemplos incluyen células dendríticas, macrófagos y células B.
