Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes play a critical role in pathogen-specific immunity by producing antibodies. B lymphocytes recognize soluble antigens via immunoglobulins anchored on their surface and differentiate into antibody-producing cells, called plasma cells, capable of secreting immunoglobulins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The B Cells have the ability to transform into plasmocytes and are responsible for producing antibodies (Abs). Thus, humoral immunity depends on the B Cells while cell immunity depends on the T Cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -A B lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell that develops in the bone marrow and makes antibodies. B cells that are long lived and remember past antigen exposure. Activated B cells that produce antibodies. Only one type of antibody is produced per plasma B cell.
