There are many types of lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. They help the body fight infections by producing antibodies to attack foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. Lymphocytes also help regulate the immune response and maintain immune memory.
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES:
1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response.
2.they secretes antibodies.
3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
An antibody has two side arms (Fab portion) and a stem (Fc portion). The side arms are the recognition sites for specific antigens such as foreign proteins to the host and they have antigen-bindinig sites for the antigen to bind to. The stem activates the host's defense system.
