You extract B cells and dilute the cells so there’s one B cell in each well of a 10-well plate. You then add nothing to 1 of the wells (negative control). To the remaining 9 wells, you add various intact bacterial cells to the wells (a few cells of 1 strain of bacteria per well). After a day, you remove the contents of each of the 10 wells, and examine each of them under a microscope. For the control, you find the one B cell you started with. For 8 of the 9 samples when bacteria were added, you find the one B cell you started with. But for 1 of the 9 samples when bacteria were added, you find 100s of B cells. What does this tell you about the original B cells from the wells where you still only see 1 B cell
