Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Pathogens are recognized by their ____
A
antigens
B
killer t-cells
C
antibodies
D
B-cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pathogens have molecules called antigens on their surface. Antigens provide a unique signature for the pathogen that enables immune system cells to recognize different pathogens and distinguish pathogens from the body’s own cells and tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each pathogen is made up of several subparts, usually unique to that specific pathogen and the disease it causes. The subpart of a pathogen that causes the formation of antibodies is called an antigen. The antibodies produced in response to the pathogen’s antigen are an important part of the immune system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are proteins capable of recognizing molecules frequently found in pathogens (the so-called Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns-PAMPs), or molecules released by damaged cells (the Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns-DAMPs).
