- Produced in the Bone Marrow (thus the name B-lymphocytes) They aren't named after bone marrow
I know. They got their name from the discovery in the Bursa of Fabricius (some bird). Easier to recognise B-cells are made in the Bone marrow that way.
Each B-Cell has its individual antibody/antigen complex What do you mean by this?
I meant that each antibody is specific.
B-Cells differentiate (clonal expansion) Clonal expansion and differentiation aren't the same process into
Does clonal expansion and selection not come under differentiation?
This level of immunity is carried out by T cells.
I don't see whats wrong with saying this
level of immunity is carried out by T cells? (as quoted from TSSM Topic 9 booklet.)
Helper T cells activate B cells by releasing cytokines - they don't present antigens to B cells. It's actually the other way around (but you won't need to know that)
Helper T cells active cytotoxic cells and present antigens to immature B cells. Once again TSSM booklet.
What do you mean by contact?
To depict its significance, as a killer cell. I've also learnt that it 'punches holes'? And again TSSM.
Are quite highly specific (like an enzyme-substrate complex).
Oops I see how 'quite' isn't the right terminology
