Function:
Which can recognize the pathogens which
are freely circulation in bloodstream.
In serum and lymph B Cells
Lymphocytes that mature in blood marrow = B Cell
Responds to Antigens in Body Fluids
1. B cells have antibodies on their surfaces that recognize specific epitopes.
aka:
2. If Antigens require T-helper cells for antibody production = it’s T-dependent antigens.
If Antigens that stimulate B cells directly without the help of T cells are called T-independent antigens.
3. When B cells are activated by an antigen, they differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells. Hormonal immunity responses process
4. Plasma cells produce antibodies, starting with IgM and then producing other classes, usually IgG.
5. B cells that recognize self are eliminated by clonal deletion process.
✦ Adaptive immunity divided according how its deals with the pathogens
(Hormonal immunity & Celluler immunity)
✦Antigen: a toxin or other foreign substance which induces or stimulate imm
response in the body (like production of antibodies.
✦Primary response: the body first responds to the antigen
