Naiive B cells are lymphocytes that have not yet been exposed to antigen. Once it can identify a particular antigen, it will undergo production of antibodies and become a mature B cell. Mature B cells are split into two categories: plasma B cells and memory B cells.

Plasma B cells will continue to produce large amounts of antibodies. Memory B cells are stored so that the next time you encounter the same antigen, it can start producing antibodies much quicker because it remembered from the previous encounter.
