When B-cells are activated they divide to form antibody-producing cells called?
Plasma cells.
T cells and B cells activated only by what?
exposure to a specific antigen at a specific site in a plasma membrane.
Antibodies are produced by?
Activated B cells, called plasma cells, are responsible for producing antibodies
Which White blood cells that activate plasma cells?
Plasma Cells are, in fact White Blood Cells - they are a special group of Lymphocytes. Plasma Cells are also known as "Effector-B Cells" and are activated by the presence of antigens in the body
What does a B-cell become when activated?
When B cells become activated they differentiate into two types of cells: plasma cells and memory cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies while memory cells linger in the system so if there is ever an invasion that the body has encountered before the body will know exactly how to destroy the pathogen.
Are Memory cells descendants of an activated B or T cell?
Yes
What process provides many b cells and t cells that are activated against specific antigens?
Clonal expansion is the process that provides many B cells and T cells that are activated against specific antigens. Clonal expansion is what provides the immune system its strength.
When b cells are activated some mass produce antibodies while other become - to protect the body of a later date?
memory B cells
Are B cells are activated with the help of TH2 cells?
Yes, Th2 cells activate B cells with mostly cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-10. Some B cells can activate without the help of Th2 cells, however, there are certain requirements for this such as repeated epitope.
Activated lymphocytes that produce antibodies are?
B lymphocytes are the cells that secrete the antibodies in response to infection in body.
What is the difference between a B cell and a memory B cell?
A plasma B cell is a B cell that has been activated to proliferate and produce antibodies against a specific antigen. A memory B cell is a B cell that lives a long time after an infection to provide long lasting immunity against that specific antigen. They both originate from the same B cell in your secondary lymph system. Once activated the specific B cell will proliferate into plasma B cells and memory B cells.
What the difference between a b cell and a b memory cell?
A plasma B cell is a B cell that has been activated to proliferate and produce antibodies against a specific antigen. A memory B cell is a B cell that lives a long time after an infection to provide long lasting immunity against that specific antigen. They both originate from the same B cell in your secondary lymph system. Once activated the specific B cell will proliferate into plasma B cells and memory B cells.
