Summary Introduction
To review:
The secretory product of plasma cells.Â
Introduction:
A fully differentiated B-lymphocyte is called plasma cell. It secretes antibodies to fight against the pathogens. Plasma cells are produced by the bone marrow and are a type of white blood cell that develop from the B lymphocyte.
