Effects of Friend Virus Infection and Regulatory T Cells on the Antigen Presentation Function of B Cells

Effects of Friend Virus Infection and Regulatory T Cells on the Antigen Presentation Function of B Cells

The primary role of B cells in immunity is considered the production of pathogen-specific antibodies, but another, less-well-studied, function of B cells is to present foreign antigens to T cells to stimulate their activation and proliferation.
