I deleted the following text from the text since it is incorrect. B-cells are indeed professional Antigen-presenting cells and therefore need to have MHCII. See the article on B-cells. If the user who wrote this has a better source, please let us know.../Eribro 21:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
WARNING!The content on this page is INCORRECT! Consult a different source. B-cells DO NOT HAVE MHCIIs=--macrophages do. B-cells ARE NOT phagocytic.
The source which you cite is ALSO incorrect. As I stated in the discussion for the B-cells article:
The second paragraph regarding the 2nd paragraph in "The Ancestry of B-cells" should be deleted, or a second reference should be cited.
The Nature Immunology 2006 paper referenced (Li et al) DOES NOT state that mammalian B-cells are capable of/activated following antigen phagocytosis. Trout and frogs are not mammals. MALIGNANT (not normal) mammalian B-lymphocytes acquire phagocytic capability, implying a common ancestry for APCs and B lymphocytes in mammals.
