Chapter 13, Problem 13Q
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
B lymphocytes also known as B cells remain in the red bone marrow until the time of their differentiation. The B cell gets activated when the molecular shape of an antigen fits the shape of its antigenic receptor and produce antibodies (from plasma cells). Such antibodies are found in body fluids which react with the specific antigen. This “antibody-mediated immune response” is called as a humoral immune response.
