plasmacellreaktion
Plasmacellreaktion, also known as plasma cell reaction, is a biological process involving the activation and proliferation of plasma cells within the immune system. Plasma cells are differentiated B lymphocytes responsible for producing and secreting antibodies, which are crucial components of humoral immunity. The process is typically initiated when an antigen, such as a pathogen or foreign substance, binds to specific B cell receptors, triggering immune activation.
Once activated, B cells undergo clonal expansion and differentiation into plasma cells in lymphoid tissues like
In pathological conditions, plasma cell reactions can be abnormal, leading to disorders such as multiple myeloma
The regulation of the plasma cell reaction involves complex interactions between cytokines, transcription factors, and cellular
Overall, the plasma cell reaction is a fundamental component of adaptive immunity, enabling efficient antibody-mediated responses
