Chapter 12, Problem 26SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The types of the cells present in the B cell (lymphocytes maturing in the bone marrow) clone and their function.
Introduction:
Binding of an antigen to B-cell receptor on the naïve B cell’s surface leads to its activation. Activated B cells undergo clonal selection and multiply rapidly to form B cells of same antigen specificity. The resulting family of the identical cells arises from the common ancestor known as a clone.
