Bcellrelated
Bcellrelated is a term used to describe biological topics, processes, cells, and diseases that involve B lymphocytes, a key component of the adaptive immune system. B cells develop primarily in the bone marrow, where their antigen receptors are assembled as membrane-bound immunoglobulins. Naive B cells then migrate to peripheral sites and circulate in the blood and lymph, ready to respond to antigens.
Activation of B cells occurs when the B cell receptor binds its specific antigen, often with help
B cell functions center on humoral immunity. Antibodies produced by plasma cells recognize pathogens or toxins,
Bcellrelated topics cover diverse B cell subsets, including naive B cells, memory B cells, plasma cells, marginal
Clinical relevance is broad. B cell dysfunction contributes to immunodeficiencies, while uncontrolled B cell activity underlies
