The classical macrophage is one of the most important cells involved in presenting antigen to helper T cells, because of its ability to regulate its expression of Ia molecules and to encounter and process particulate and soluble antigens. We have summarized in this report studies examining the handl

To summarize, during the period under review there have been considerable advances in our understanding of how antigen is associated with MHC on the surface of a presenting cell. Basic rules which govern this association have been confirmed as including both the nature and the configuration of the a
## Abstract The B cell receptor (BCR) enables antigen‐specific B cells to bind, internalize and target antigens for processing into small peptide fragments. These epitopes are then expressed on the plasmamembrane in association with MHC class II molecules for recognition by CD4^+^ T cells. The affi
