B. specific cytokines from the T helper cells stimulate maturation and complete activation of the antigen-stimulated B cell.
C. antigen within MCH class II molecule is presented by B cell to an activated T helper cell.
D. antigen binds to specific B cell receptor molecules.
E. antigen bound to the B cell receptor is internalized and transferred to an MHC class II molecule which then moves to the  plasma membrane.
