Summary Introduction
B-cell precursors are produced from the stem cells in the bone marrow. Subsets of B cells contain a unique function, they are involved in the immune mechanism and antibody production. Toll-like receptors are present on the B-cells and they regulate activation of B-cells throughout the developmental stages of B cells.
