Antibody\u2010producing B lymphocyte that has reached the end of its differentiation pathway.

Called also plasmocyte or plasma B cell.<\/p>\n

\n

A type of white blood cell that produces antibodies.<\/p>\n

\n

Derived from B cells, they produce antibodies.<\/p>\n

\n

A lymphocyte which produces a particular type of antibody.<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

Antibody-producing cells derived from B cells.<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n
