Due to a genetic mutation, B Cells are not able to produce plasma cells after connecting with an antigen-bearing T cell. How would this affect the body and the maintenance of homeostasis?
|
|
It would have no effect.
|
|
|
B cells would not be able to connect with an antigen to identify non-self or self
|
|
|
Antibodies would not be able to be used to tag antigens to help destroy them
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When a B cell encounters an antigen, it is stimulated to mature into a plasma cell or a memory B cell. Plasma cells then release antibodies (also called immunoglobulins, or Ig). There are 5 classes of antibodies-IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgD.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon re-exposure to antigen, memory B cells can quickly proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells. Alternatively, they will re-enter GCs for another round of affinity maturation and CSR.
