What else can I help you with?
A protein molecule produced by a plasma cell?
antibody
What cell is an antibody factory?
Plasma cells, which are derived from B cells.
What is another name for a plasma cell?
Another name for a plasma cell is an antibody-secreting cell.
What is the last line of defense against an extracellular pathogen?
antibody production by plasma cells
What blood cell can become an antibody-secreting cell is?
The cell which can secret antibody are called B-Lymphocytes. Those cells are generally called as B-Cells.
What cells produce antibody?
T plasma cells, if your at A level or anything lower, you don't need to write anymore than that. T plasma cells are formed through clonal selection.
What is the function of the plasma cell?
produce antibodies Plasma cells are antibody-manufacturing cells derived from B lymphocytes, following their activation by an antigen. They are responsible for humoral immunity - immunity conferred by antibodies present in the blood plasma. Plasma cells are capable of synthesising and secreting antibodies at a rate of 2000 molecules per second. Each cell will only synthesise and secrete one type of antibody. This antibody will bind specifically to the antigen that initially activated the precursor B lymphocyte. Plasma cells will synthesise and secrete antibody molecules over their short life span of 4 to 5 days. The secreted antibodies circulate in the blood or lymph and bind to their complementary antigen, thus marking them for destruction by other mechanisms.
When B-cells are activated they divide to form antibody-producing cells called?
Plasma cells.
What is the Y shaped molecule produced by plasma cells?
The Y-shaped molecule produced by plasma cells is an antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin. Antibodies play a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and binding to specific foreign substances, such as pathogens, to help eliminate them from the body.
What is the antibody-producing cell that plays an important role in protecting us from infection?
plasma cells, lymphocytes and monocytes
Explain the role of memory cells in the immune system?
Memory cells divide into plasma cells that produce the right antibody.
What is the most common type of antibody found in plasma?
Immunoglobulin G; it makes up 80% of the Immunoglobulin content in the bloodstream
