B cells are lymphocytes that play a large role in the humoral immune response as opposed to the cell-mediated immune response that is governed by T cells. The principal function of B cells is to make antibodies against soluble antigens.
B Cells
BCRs bind soluble antigens (like diphtheria toxoid, the protein introduced into your body in the DTP vaccine).
The bound antigen molecules are engulfed into the B cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Memory B cells are B cells that although activated by the immune system, they are stored inside the circulatory system for later use, for long periods of time, possibly a whole lifetime.
B cell
A type of lymphocyte that develops in the bone marrow and later produces antibodies, which mediate humoral immunity.
Bacteria ...
B cells Type of lymphocyte responsible for antibody-mediated immunity; mature in the bone marrow and circulate in the circulatory and lymph systems where they transform into antibody-producing plasma cells when exposed to antigens.
B Cells
B cells divide, forming plasma cells and B memory cells. Plasma cells make and release between 2000 and 20,000 antibody molecules per second into the blood for the next four or five days.
B cells: A major family of small lymphocytes that are responsible for antigen-specific humoral immunity as part of the adaptive immunity. Their antigen receptors are surface immunoglobulins (antibodies).
B cell A type of lymphocyte derived from bone marrow stem cells that matures into an immunologically competent cell under the influence of the bursa of Fabricius in the chicken, and the bone marrow in nonavian species; ...
B cell precursors randomly rearrange variable coding parts of antibody genes. Afterwards, antigen binds to a clone with specific membrane antibody, resulting in differentiation to antibody secreting plasma cells
B. ...
B cells divide and form memory cells and antibody-secreting plasma cells: ...
The stimulated B cell undergoes repeated cell divisions, enlargement and differentiation to form a clone of antibody secreting plasma cells. Hence.
B lymphocytes (B cells)
- A type of cell that produces antibodies.

The immune system contains white blood cells called T and B cells which make and secrete antibodies (proteins) to fight foreign molecules (including allergens), cells, and viruses. These foreign molecules, etc., are referred to as antigens.
Chemical signals from helper T cells stimulate the production of B cells specific to an infecting pathogen, and then stimulate the B cells to differentiate into plasma cells.
We are mapping a human chromosome 13q14 region frequently lost at human blood malignancy cold B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (BCLL). The final goal of the project is to find putative oncosupressor gene lost in the region at BCLL.
It's made by a certain type of white blood cell that's called a B cell.
The carbohydrate chain is attached to a membrane protein or lipid. Blood type B cells have have a different carbohydrate chain. Type AB cells have both A and B chains.
Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) The intracellular region of Ig-α and Ig-β membrane proteins of immature B cells; upon antigen binding to the membrane-bound antibodies of the B cell, the ITAM regions of Ig-α ...
antigen - a molecule which reacts with preformed antibody at the specific receptors on T and B cells. Antigens are the ligands that react with the products of an immune response ...
Monoclonal antibodies. Immunoglobulin molecules of single- epitope specificity that are secreted by a clone of B cells.
Monoculture. The agricultural practice of cultivating crops consisting of genetically similar organisms.
