plasma cells Cells produced from B cells that synthesize and release antibodies. PICTURE ...
look like plasma cells, but have certain characteristics similar to myeloid dendritic cells.[3] ...
Antibody-secreting cells, called plasma cells, are derived from B cells.
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.
The stimulated B cell undergoes repeated cell divisions, enlargement and differentiation to form a clone of antibody secreting plasma cells. Hence.
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.
If a foreign substance (an antigen) is injected into a vertebrate such as a mouse or a human, some of the immune system's B-cells will turn into plasma cells and start to produce antibodies that bind to that antigen.
Blymphocyte Precursors to plasma cells, which are antibody-secreting cells.
Bohr effect The observation made by Christian Bohr that H+ and CO2 promote the release of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin.

antibody Immunoglobulin protein, produced by B cells (or plasma cells derived from B cells), that binds with a specific antigen.
antibody titer Measure of the amount of antibody present, usually given in units per milliliter of serum.
(Science: syndrome) A reticular erythematous dermatitis of the upper trunk, more common in women, in which there is perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes, few plasma cells, and upper dermal deposits of mucin; worsens on exposure to ultraviolet light.
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. ...
Their antigen receptors are surface immunoglobulins (antibodies). They recognize peptides directly and secrete antibodies by differentiating into plasma cells. They also exist as long-lived memory cells.
(4) Plasma cells of Waldeyer, usually spheroidal and distinguished by containing a vacuolated protoplasm. The vacuoles are filled with fluid, and the protoplasm between the spaces is clear, with occasionally a few scattered basophil granules.
