A type of white blood cell that can kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells; an important component of innate immunity.

Detailed explanation-1: -B-cells protect you from infection by making proteins called antibodies. B-cells are a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. When your immune system detects antigens-markers that indicate a threat like a bacteria or virus has entered your body-your B-cells produce antibodies to fight the invader.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphocyte The B cells produce antibodies that are used to attack invading bacteria, viruses, and toxins.
Detailed explanation-3: -B lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow; their goal is to recognize an antigen. Each of them responds to the antigen in a specific way, as it expresses specific antibodies on the membrane (IgM, CD79a, and CD79b).
Detailed explanation-4: -Each B cell clone makes antibody molecules with a unique antigen-binding site. Initially, during B cell development in the bone marrow, the antibody molecules are inserted into the plasma membrane, where they serve as receptors for antigen.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two main types of T-cells: Helper T-cells stimulate B-cells to make antibodies and help killer cells develop. Killer T-cells or cytotoxic T-cells directly kill cells that have already been infected by a foreign invader.
