Two developmental paths for stimulated B lymphocytes
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Exposure to antigen causes two kinds of cells to develop from B lymphocytes.

Cells of one type (effector B cells, or plasma cells) synthesize soluble antibody.

Cells of the second class (memory cells) carry membrane-bound antibody to allow a rapid and enhanced response to a second exposure of the same antigen.
