Plasma cells, also called plasma B cells or effector B cells, are white blood cells that originate in the lymphoid organs as B cells [1] and secrete large quantities of proteins called antibodies in response …

Plasma cell, short-lived antibody-producing cell derived from a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) called a B cell. B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after …

Dec 30, 2022 · Plasma cells are differentiated B-lymphocyte white blood cells capable of secreting immunoglobulin or antibodies. They play a significant role in the adaptive immune response, being …

Nov 7, 2025 · A plasma cell (or plasmacyte) is the terminally differentiated, non-proliferating effector cell of the B-lymphocyte lineage. Its sole purpose is the mass production and secretion of highly specific …

Plasma cells are fully mature and specialized B lymphocytes that produce antibodies. They are found mainly in the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow and are seen only sporadically in peripheral blood.

Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell (WBC) and part of the body’s immune system. They make special proteins called antibodies.

Nov 2, 2023 · The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of plasma cells enable them to carry out their primary functions of synthesis, modification, and secretion of antibodies.

Jul 25, 2025 · Plasma cells are specialized immune cells, a type of white blood cell known as a lymphocyte. They play a central role in the body’s defense system, protecting against various threats …

Plasma cells are terminally differentiated B cells that provide specific humoral immunity by secretion of antibodies [1]. In humoral immune responses to vaccines or pathogens, stable protective antibody …

Notes: The maturation of a lymphocyte to a plasma cell marks the production of immunoglobulins. Lymphocytes that mature into plasma cells are of B lineage. 1 Nucleus-to-Cytoplasm Ratio: 2:1 to …
