A) They induce local inflammation,thereby increasing the number of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) at the site of immunization.
B) They stimulate the expression of costimulators on local APCs.
C) They enhance local production of cytokines that promote T cell activation.
D) They prolong the expression of peptide-MHC complexes on the surface of APCs.
E) They bind to T cell antigen receptors and promote their proliferation.
