Which Cells Are Involved In Antigen Clearance Non-Specifically By Engulfing Them ?

A: B Cells
B: T Cells
C: Phagocytic Cells
D: Cytotoxic T Cells

The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C: Phagocytic Cells.

Phagocytic cells are a type of immune cell that can engulf and ingest foreign particles, such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, as well as dead or dying cells. This process is called phagocytosis, and it is a critical component of the body's non-specific immune response. Phagocytic cells include neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, among others.

B cells and T cells are part of the adaptive immune response and are not typically involved in non-specific antigen clearance by phagocytosis. Cytotoxic T cells are a type of T cell that can specifically target and kill infected or abnormal cells, but they do not typically engulf and clear antigens non-specifically by phagocytosis.
