Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE about dT cells and B-1 B cells?

A. Both can self-renew in the periphery and do not need to be replenished from primary lymphoid tissues.
B. Both have identical lymphocyte receptors to one another.
C. Both respond to their antigens via high-affinity receptor responses.
D. Both A and D
E. All of the above

Answer 1

Both dT cells and B-1 B cells can self-renew in the periphery and do not need to be replenished from primary lymphoid tissues. Both dT cells and B-1 B cells respond to their antigens via high-affinity receptor responses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both statements A and D are true about dT cells and B-1 B cells.

1. Statement A is true because both dT cells and B-1 B cells can self-renew in the periphery and do not need to be replenished from primary lymphoid tissues.
2. Statement D is true because both dT cells and B-1 B cells respond to their antigens via high-affinity receptor responses.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Both A and D.
