| antigen-presenting cell |
Antigen-processing cells ingest antigen and chop it into small fragments that are then packaged within the major histocompatibility complex molecules and shuttled to the surface of the cell membrane for presentation. Professional antigen presenting cells are dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells.

| antigen-presenting cell |
A specialized type of white blood cell that engulfs antigens and breaks them down into smaller fragments. These fragments are transported to the surface of the APC, where they are linked to special marker proteins and "presented" to aT cell. This process results in instructing the T cell to recognize that substance or component.
