Chapter 29, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The binding sites for the activation of the B cell and exposure of B cell before it proliferates.
Introduction:
B cells are the type of white blood cells. They play an important role in humoral immunity. B cells are the components of the adaptive immune system. B cells mainly work by secreting antibodies.

- How does T cell activation differ from B cellactivation?arrow_forwardB lymphocytes, the precursors of plasma cells, are triggered to proliferate by the binding of multivalent antigens to receptors on their surfaces.
