The immune system 7 - Plasma cells Fight!

We left out in the lymph node and the battle field and there is a second group of T cells.

I am going to tell you that it activate B cells. But its way more complex.

I need to tell you something before you read. DO NOT tell what I said to anybody in more simpler forms. Its the simplest form I can tell you. Before you read, its going to be hard(B cell lifestyle).

Ok! lets hop on the express train!

B cells is like T cell receptor. That means it can make one unique receptor.

So B cells starts in the Bone marrow, where it will do the training like T cells BUT in the bone marrow itself.

So it start on circulating the lymph node. The only thing that is different is T cells need a 'Hot Dog Bun' to activate. While B cells don't have a restriction. It just connect a antigen the unique receptor can attach.

B cells need compliment( the little thing that slow down and rip the bacteria remember?) to be more likely to activate.
After its done getting enough pieces, then it began making B cells that pump antibodies that are not very effective.

Then that is when the second group of T cells come. It come to the B cell and activate it. The B cell then morph into its final form: The Plasma cell.

Here, it is SUPER effective against pathogens. The antibodies it make began marking and disabling pathogens and the macrophage began eating the marked pathogens. This would turn the tide, and the pathogens are eliminated, making you happy and healthy.
