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 ...
Though strictly speaking, an antibody is not the same as an immunoglobulin; B cells can produce two types of immunoglobulins-surface immunoglobulins, which are B cell receptors; and secreted immunoglobulins, which are antibodies. So antibodies are one of two classes of immunoglobulins.he ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region (located at the base of the Y), which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions.
