A) activation of the dendritic cell to become a plasma cell

When a dendritic cell phagocytizes a microbe and processes it, it displays microbial epitope-MHC II complexes on the cell surface. This allows for the activation of T helper cells and the initiation of an adaptive immune response against the microbe.
