Well,
-
your innate immune system tries to get rid of them.
-
The innate immune system composed of neutrophils and macrophages;
-
these are cells that are crawling around your body all the time
-
ready to eat bacteria.
-
When they do that they can actually engulf the bacteria
-
in a process called phagocytosis
-
and break them down into antigens.
-
Then those antigens get expressed with MHC
-
just like they did in all the other cells inside the host,
-
but particular cells of the innate immune system
-
have a different kind of MHC called MHC2.
