Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main types of B-cells: plasma cells and memory cells. Both types help protect you from infection and disease. Plasma cells: Plasma cells release antibodies in response to antigens. Once a B-cell becomes a mature plasma cell, it can release up to 2, 000 antibodies per second.
Detailed explanation-2: -This means that before B cells can be induced to make antibody to an infecting pathogen, a CD4 T cell specific for peptides from this pathogen must first be activated to produce the appropriate armed helper T cells. This presumably occurs by interaction with an antigen-presenting dendritic cell (see Section 8-1).
Detailed explanation-3: -The absence of an interaction with multivalent self antigens signals an immature B cell to enter the blood and coexpress IgM and IgD on the cell surface.
