Bursa-equivalent lymphocytes. After maturation into plasma cells they produce antibodies (immunoglobulins) during humoral responses in immunological reactions. They were first discovered in the bursa of Fabricius in the chicken; hence the name.
A class of white blood cells originating in the bone marrow and found in blood, spleen, and lymph nodes. They are the precursors of(blood) plasma cells that secrete antibodies directed against invading antigens.
A kind of white blood cell that produces antibodies in response to stimulation by an antigen proliferate under stimulation from factors released by T-lymphocytes: B-cells.
Cells that are produced in the bone marrow that travel to the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissue, becoming part of the body’s immune system by producing antibodies.
Cells that produce antibodies that travel through the blood with the ability to attach to foreign cells, labeling them for destruction by phagocytes.
Position of body parts in relation to each other or with regard to normal posture.
Lymphocytes (lymph cells) that are bone marrow-dependent (originate in the bone marrow) and function as part of the immune system to protect against infection.
B-lymphocytes, also known as B-cells, are a specific type of white blood cell. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system, which serves as the body’s natural defense mechanism. B-lymphocytes are responsible for producing antibodies, which are specialized proteins that target and eliminate harmful microorganisms. By generating these antibodies, B-lymphocytes contribute to the body’s ability to identify and destroy pathogens, thereby bolstering the overall immune response.
