The nonmembranous organelle prevalent in plasma cells

Introduction:

Plasma cells belong to a category of B-cells formed after the priming of these cells by foreign antigenic peptides. They secrete antibodies in blood which helps in the development of the immune response inside the cell. The antibodies bind to antigen to form an antigen-antibody complex, leading to a neutralization response inside the cell.
