This article is about the immune system cell. For the electrical cell, see Battery (vacuum tube). For β-cell of pancreas, see beta cell. B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell of the lymphocyte subtype. [ 1 ] . They function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system. [ 1 ] .
28 maj 2022 · B cells respond to antigen stimulation of their BCR via the production of antibodies. This is a key feature of the adaptive immune system and a major aim of vaccination. In this chapter, we will discuss the structure and function of BCRs and antibodies, in particular...
B cells are at the centre of the adaptive humoral immune system and are responsible for mediating the production of antigen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) directed against invasive pathogens (typically known as antibodies).
25 cze 2013 · Key Points. B cells form immunological synapses upon engagement of their B cell receptor (BCR) with antigen that is exposed at the surface of specialized presenting cells. Synapse formation...
6 paź 2024 · B cells or B lymphocytes (bursa-derived cells) are essential components of adaptive immune response, primarily responsible for humoral immunity in mammals. B-cell production in humans is a lifelong process that starts in the fetal liver, intrauterine, and bone marrow after birth.
2 sty 2019 · Despite the maturity of the field of B cell biology, or possibly because of it, discoveries continue to be made that provide fundamental insights into cell biology and into the immune system...
1 wrz 2008 · A simple definition of B lymphocytes is a population of cells that express clonally diverse cell surface immunoglobulin (Ig) receptors recognizing specific antigenic epitopes.
