I'm at the start of TEW2 (1 hour in). Tried to find what APC means by googling all sorts of things, but can't seem to find any definition or...
B-cells become Plasma Cells. When a B-cell receptor connects to its specific antigen, a Helper T-cell releases chemicals that tell that B-cell to divide many times. This makes an army of B-cells with the perfectly shaped B-cell receptor to connect to the invader in your body.Many of these B-cells quickly turn into Plasma cells.how/hide words to know. 1  Antibody: a molecule made by B-cells to trap foreign particles and microbes... 2  Molecule: a chemical structure that has two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond. 3  Plasma cell: an immune cell that comes from B-cells and makes and releases antibodies. 4  Receptor: a molecule on the surface of a cell that receives ...
A general representation of the method used to produce monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell. Monoclonal antibodies can have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope (the part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody). In contrast, polyclonal antibodies bind to multiple epitopes and are usually made by several different plasma cell (antibody secreting immune cell) lineages.
