Transcript B Cells (plasma cells)

By: Mackenzie Verhoeven
 B-cells
are a type of white cells called blymphocyto.
 B-cells which are from bone marrow and
developed into plasma cells.
 Plasma cells are a good source of antibodies.
 B-cells do not produce antibodies until they
become fully activated.
 The body makes different types of B-cells that
circulate in the blood each day
 B-cells
make Y-shaped proteins called
antibodies.
 Antibodies is a blood protein produced in
response to and counteracting a specific
antigen
 Antibodies stick to the surface of the antigen
of a germ.
 The germ is creating a clump telling the body
that there an intruder.
 Your body reacts and makes
a toxic substance to fight them.
B
cells mature in bone marrow
 B cell needs proteins produced to the T cells
to become fully activated and going.
 Bone marrow is a spongy, fatty tissue that
houses stem cells.
 These stem cells transform themselves into
white blood cells
 These are located inside a few large bones.
 B-cells
special proteins are antibodies.
 Antibodies circulate in the blood stream and
can appear anywhere in the body
 Antibodies can be used to explain recovery
from infection by bacteria.
 They identify bad bacteria
 Antibiotics do not work
on viruses because
viruses are not alive.
 B-cells
are associated with diabetes.
 The (NOD) mouse has become the most
favored model for type I diabetes.
 NOD stands for None Obese Diabetic mice.
 B-cells can have a couple roles in diabetes
and possibly other diseases.
 B-cells are also associated with cancer
 B-cells
are found in the bone marrow
 They move to the spleen to continue to
mature
 After they have matured they then go in the
blood stream
 The B-cells then get ready to attack the
infections.
