Plasma cells assessment

Active

Description

Plasma cells (or plasmocytes) are cells of the immune system that secrete large amounts of antibodies. They differentiate from B cells upon stimulation by antigen-activated CD4+ lymphocytes (or T lymphocytes) . They are found in the medulla of the lymph node, in the bone marrow and in the red pulp of the spleen. The differentiation of B cells into plasma cells is accompanied by many morphological changes that allow the cell to synthesize and secrete large amounts of antibodies.
