Resource summary
B-LYMPHOCYTES
Produce ANTIBODIES
HUMORAL RESPONSE
Made in BONE MARROW from PLURIPOTENT cells
Mature in BONE MARROW
When the encounter an antigen they become SENSITISED
They then migrate to Lymphoid tissue for further processing
2 Types of cell develop
PLASMA CELLS-secrete antibodies and clusters which are called clones
MEMORY CELLS-respond to another encounte
Stimulates plasma cells to produce antibodies
Initiated by ACTIVATION PHASE
Macrophages phagocytose and display epitopes
(antigen presentation)
T-HELPER cells recognise and bind to displayed antigen
Activated T-HELPER cells trigger specific B-CELLS to proliferate and produce antibodies
Divide by mitosis and differentiate into plasma cells(secrete antibodies)
Circulate in blood,lymph and mucous membranes
Produce memory cells (PRIMARY RESPONSE)
Second encounter is therefore quicker (SECONDARY RESPONSE)
