Plasma cells secrete large quantities of antibodies. Plasma cells are created once a B cell is activated and undergoes clonal proliferation and daughter cells differentiate.

The different classifications of B cells include:

- Plasma B Cells
- Memory B Cells
- Naïve Mature B Cells

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Naïve mature B cells are mature B cells that have not been activated yet.

Naïve Mature B Cells

Plasma B Cells

Memory B cells are created after several rounds of proliferation, and additional cytokines provided by the TH2 cells stimulate the differentiation of activated B cell clones into memory B cells. They respond quickly to subsequent exposures to the same protein epitope.
