[PDF] b cell maturation activation and differentiation

B cells are activated when they encounter an antigen that they recognize. The antigen binds to the B cell's surface receptors, which activates and triggers it to divide and differentiate into an antibody-secreting plasma cell. Plasma cells produce antibodies that bind to the antigen and neutralize it.

  • What is B cell differentiation?

    B cell differentiation is tightly controlled by a transcription regulation network. It involves the coordination of several transcription factors to promote the expression of antibody-secretion and plasma cell-related genes, and downregulate the B cell identity genes.

  • What are the steps in B cell maturation?

    First, they start as common lymphoid progenitor cells, which become early pro-B cells, then late pro-B cells, next large pre-B cells, then small pre-B cells, and finally, immature B cells. Immature B cells then migrate from the bone marrow into the lymph nodes and spleen to complete the process of maturation.

  • What stimulates the B cells to differentiate?

    Armed helper T cells stimulate the proliferation and then the differentiation of antigen-binding B cells. The specific interaction of an antigen-binding B cell with an armed helper T cell leads to the expression of the B-cell stimulatory molecule CD40 (more)
  • Answer and Explanation: B cells begin to mature when they encounter a foreign infectious agent. This could be a live bacterial cell or virus but it can also be a fragment of that cell.
