CLASSICAL ALTERNATE AND LECTIN PATHWAYS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Function is to destroy foreign substances
A
Antigen
B
B-Lymphocytes
C
Antibodies
D
T-Lymphocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies attach to a specific antigen and make it easier for the immune cells to destroy the antigen. T lymphocytes attack antigens directly and help control the immune response. They also release chemicals, known as cytokines, which control the entire immune response.

Detailed explanation-2: -Armed effector cytotoxic CD8 T cells are essential in host defense against pathogens that live in the cytosol, the commonest of which are viruses. These cytotoxic T cells can kill any cell harboring such pathogens by recognizing foreign peptides that are transported to the cell surface bound to MHC class I molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Helper T cells are arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, as they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.
