C3.2.9—Clones of plasma cells Topic Practice
Practise how activated B cells multiply into clones of plasma cells and how those plasma cells support antibody-based immune responses.
How this is tested
- distinguish clonal selection from antibody secretion by plasma cells
- explain that activated B cells divide to form clones of plasma cells
- state the role of plasma cells as secreting antibodies in an immune response
