T-cell dependent B-cell activation

Question 1

Importance of T-cell dependent B-cell activation

Answer 1

To stimulate the differentiation and proliferation of B-cells into antibody producing and memory cells; high affinity antibodies that exhibit high specificity for neutralizing pathogens.

Question 2

Antibody producing cells

Answer 2

Leads to production of plasma cells which are effector cells that produce a diverse range of immunoglobins/antibodies that each play different roles in the immune system to improve its effectiveness

Question 3

Memory B-cells

Answer 3

Aid in the establishment of an immunological memory
can differentiate immediately into plasma cells upon exposure to a specific pathogen, making immune response more efficient.
