Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B cells have specific antibodies in their cell membranes. These antibodies can recognize and bind to specific antigens, which leads to the activation and proliferation of the B cell, resulting in the production of more antibodies. B cells are important for the humoral immune response, which involves the production of antibodies to neutralize pathogens. They do not develop in the thymus or play a role in cell-mediated immunity.
