This B-cell is able to fool T-cells into providing the necessary T-cell help. The B-cell first binds to its antigen, the IgG molecule, which in turn is complexed to a non-self antigen. The non-self antigen is internalized, processed, and presented by the B-cell with MHC class II proteins to the T-cell via the T-cell receptor, in the presence of the appropriate accessory molecules, resulting in activation of the T-cell. The end result of this antigen presentation is production by the T-cell of the necessary helper factors (IL-4, IL-5, IF?). The B-cell lives on.
