B cells and Humoral response Flashcards
1
Q
What do macrophages do with B cells?
A
They identify the antigen and the B cells present the antigen on its cell surface membrane
2
Q
What do T helpers cells do in order to activate B cells?
A
The T helper cells bind to the antigen
3
Q
What is Clonal selection?
A
The B cells begin to divide by mitosis to form plasma cells and memory cells
4
Q
What do plasma cells produce?
A
antibodies that are complementary to the antigens, this is the primary response
5
Q
What is the secondary response?
A
The memory cells can be able to recognize the antigen again so they will divide to produce plasma cells and memory cells
