| 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.
