Concept explainers
To determine: The two types of cells that are produced by the clonal expansion of activated B cells.
Introduction: The B cells are the lymphocytes that produce a humoral immune response. The antigen binds with the receptors of B cells, and this leads to the activation of the B cells. The activated B cells start dividing rapidly to form their clones by the process of clonal selection.
To determine: The functions of the cells that are produced by the clonal expansion of activated B cells.
Introduction: B-cell lymphocytes are the cells that have to differentiate into other types of cells called plasma cells. The primary function of the B cells is to produce humoral immune responses, antibodies, and memory cells.
