What are the APCs involved in the Cell Mediated Immune System?
A
Macrophages and Dendritic Cells
B
Dendritic Cells and B-lymphocytes
C
B-lymphocytes and Macrophages
D
Macrophages only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical antigen presenting cells (APCs) are dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells (10). To mount an immune response, APCs must first recognize and bind their target. To do so, APCs express antigen-specific surface receptors including pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

Detailed explanation-2: -Macrophages and dendritic cells function as antigen-presenting cells (APCs). They present peptide antigens derived from digested bacteria on the major histocompatibility complex class II and activate acquired immunity by activating helper T cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) are immune cells that specialize in presenting an antigen to a T-cell. The main types of professional APCs are dendritic cells (DC), macrophages, and B cells.
