Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasma cells are activated when they encounter a specific antigen. This antigen can come from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, or it can come from other foreign substances like pollen or toxins. When a plasma cell encounters its specific antigen, it begins to produce large quantities of antibodies that can bind to and neutralize the antigen.
