Plasma cells are oval or round with extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum, a well\u2010developed Golgi apparatus, and a round nucleus. Principal effector cell involved in humoral immunity. Called also plasmocyte or plasma B cell.A type of white blood cell that produces antibodies.Derived from B cells, they produce antibodies.A lymphocyte which produces a particular type of antibody.Lymphocyte-like cell found in bone marrow and sometimes in the blood that functions in immune responses; large numbers of plasma cells are found in multiple myeloma.Antibody-producing cells derived from B cells.These are cells that produce antibodies and occur in bone-forming tissue as well as the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. The cells develop in lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow\u00a0when T-lymphocytes are stimulated by antigens to produce the precursor cells from which plasma cells originate.A cell derived from a B lymphocyte that has been sensitized to a specific foreign antigen and produces antibodies to that particular antigen. It may be found in the blood or in tissue fluid.A particular variety of white blood cell responsible for generating antibodies is called a plasma cell. These specialized cells originate from B-cells that are specific to antigens."}
