Plasma Cell

Terminally differentiated B-lymphocytes specialized for the mass production and secretion of large quantities of antibodies, playing a critical role in humoral immunity.

Key Functions:

• Produces and secretes specific antibodies.
• Crucial for humoral immunity and long-term protection against pathogens.
• Develops from activated B-lymphocytes.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• B-lymphocyte (develops from)
• Antibody (produces)
• Immune System (key effector cell)
• Antigen (responds to)
