Summary Introduction

To identify:

The stages in activation of B lymphocytes, clonal expansion, and antibody formation.

Introduction:

B-cell maturation exists in certain bone marrow regions that harbor stromal cells. These huge cells nurture the lymphocyte stem cells and provide chemical signals that initiate B-cell development.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
List and analyze the stages in activation of B lymphocytes, clonal expansion, and antibody formation.
Describe the typical shape and structure of an antibody. Distinguish between antibodies and antigens. Be able to draw an antibody and label the variable (antigen-binding) region and the control region. What results in the specificity of an antibody (i.e. one antibody can bind only one particular antigen)? Which type of lymphocyte makes antibodies?
Trace the origin and development of T lymphocytes and of Blymphocytes.
