Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You have a mutation which does not allow T-cells to activate B-cells. Which of the following could still occur?
A
Somatic Hypermutation
B
Class Switching to IgG
C
Formation of Plasma Cells
D
Formation of Germinal Center
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -T and B cells are activated when they recognize small components of antigens, called epitopes, presented by APCs, illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2. An antigen is a macromolecule that reacts with components of the immune system.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main types of T-cells: Helper T-cells stimulate B-cells to make antibodies and help killer cells develop. Killer T-cells or cytotoxic T-cells directly kill cells that have already been infected by a foreign invader.

Detailed explanation-3: -For activation and differentiation into antibody-secreting plasma cells, mature B cells in the periphery lymphoid organs require two signals. The first signal is derived from antigen-coupled B cell receptors (BCRs), and the second signal can be delivered in a T cell-dependent (TD) or T cell-independent (TI) manner.
