What is the difference between T cells and B cells?
Which statement best summarizes the two types of cells that B cells differentiate to form?
a.) B cells can become plasma cells, which formm antibodies, or memory cells, which help mount an immune response quickly if a pathogen infects the host again.
b.) B cells can become plasma cells, which coordinate cell-mediated immunity, or memory cells, which are responsible for endocrine signaling.
c.) B cells can become memory cellsm which coordinate cell-mediated immunity, or plasma cells, which are responsible for endocrine signaling/
d.) B cells can become memory cells, which form antibodies, or plasma cells, which help mount an immune response quickly if a pathogen infects the host again.
Which of the following determine what specific antigens B cells can recognize and bind?
a) The type of antigen
b) B cell receptor
c) The size of the antigen
e) Enzymes present at the time of the invasion
