Difference between Antigen processing and Antigen-presenting cell

Antigen processing vs. Antigen-presenting cell

Antigen processing is an immunological process that prepares antigens for presentation to special cells of the immune system called T lymphocytes. An antigen-presenting cell (APC) or accessory cell is a cell that displays antigen complexed with major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) on their surfaces; this process is known as antigen presentation.

Similarities between Antigen processing and Antigen-presenting cell

Antigen processing and Antigen-presenting cell have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antigen, Antigen presentation, Beta-2 microglobulin, Cross-presentation, Dendritic cell, Major histocompatibility complex, Phagocytosis, T cell.

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen is a molecule capable of inducing an immune response (to produce an antibody) in the host organism.

Antigen presentation

Antigen presentation describes a vital immune process which is essential for T cell immune response triggering.

Beta-2 microglobulin

β2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, MHC class I molecules have α1, α2, and α3 proteins which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells).

Cross-presentation

Cross-presentation is the ability of certain antigen-presenting cells to take up, process and present extracellular antigens with MHC class I molecules to CD8 T cells (cytotoxic T cells).

Dendritic cell

Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells (also known as accessory cells) of the mammalian immune system.

Major histocompatibility complex

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates, which in turn determines histocompatibility.

Phagocytosis

In cell biology, phagocytosis is the process by which a cell—often a phagocyte or a protist—engulfs a solid particle to form an internal compartment known as a phagosome.

T cell

A T cell, or T lymphocyte, is a type of lymphocyte (a subtype of white blood cell) that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity.
