B cell activation and differentiation

B cell activation and differentiation -This lecture explains about the activation of B cell and the mechanism of B cell differentiation in Bone marrow and how B cell developed into the antibody making factories in immune system. It also explains the conversion of B cell into the plasma cells which is also known as the B cell maturation.

B-Lymphocytes -

derived from the bursa of Fabricius, or its equivalent,

1. ~ 10% of peripheral circulating lymphocytes
2. ~ 50% of splenic lymphocytes

3. ~ 75% of bone marrow lymphocytes

differentiation occurs in the 3rd trimester in utero & the neonatal period
all have membrane bound immunoglobulins, which attach via their Fc portion, a. IgM & IgD ~ 75%
b. IgG ~ 24%

c. IgA ~ 1%

clonal expansion and differentiation to,

1. plasma cells - which produce specific antibody, and

2. memory cells - which readily produce plasma cells to repeat challenge,

requires,

i. Ig-Fab portion attaching specific antigen
ii. antigen presented & pre-processed by macrophages
iii. modulatory signals from other cells, especially T4-cells

NB: plasma cells produce only one class of Ab which is specific for one antigen

→ theory of clonal specificity McFarlane Burnet

Ab production may occur as above, with the co-operation of T-cells

→ the antigen is said to be thymus dependent antigen

most antigens are of this class, and the Ab's produced include all classes thymus independent antibodies are exclusively of the IgM class

Shomu is a legend. U deserve a Nobel prize for exhibiting unique and most active teaching skills. We are grateful

[dustybins]

BRUH, you're better than a lot of my medical school professors from the states!

[MK-xwdo]

u r d saviour during our exams ...ur videos are outstanding

[lorib]

Thank you so much for these videos. I love my teacher, but I can't hear or understand him very well. :) With your videos, i can start, stop, take notes and repeat if necessary. I had no idea what my teacher was talking about when he went over T & B cell interaction and activation. Now I do! Thank you!

[rebeccacarissa]

i don't usually leave comments but the way you teach is very engaging and clear!

[dawnhoran]

Another brilliant lesson by the most amazing tutor on youtube, thank you.

[avis]

Thank you
i did a paid course at udemy (fundamentals of immunology) but ended up here.

[harmandeepkaur]

This is my first comment on YouTube..just wanna say m a fan after watching these immunology lectures..😊

[TheGhost-lmxp]

U are the first indian doctor that I can understand his videos❤️love from Iraq

[sammaya]

Hi sir, I am a student from Belgium I juist can't thank you enough!! Before my exam I juist watch your video's and I have 98%. thankxx alot!!!! My advice to all students...watch these video's before you start reading your book I am 100%sure you will understand better

[Austin-vt]

Reading notes that provided by teachers are so difficult. But it is simple explanation i have ever heard

[adamxenon]

cant tell how grateful i am watching your videos, understanding stufs from your videos is just systemic and i love that. thank you

[pranzaldass]

A teacher should be like you. you're unique.... love from assam❤

[shatavisasardar]

You teaching process is so beautiful that I understand every difficult thing very easily.

[FluryTheMc]

Nicely explained. You have great teaching skills. Greetings from Switzerland

[SaraKhan-xrjv]

So many students are blessed with your Detailed explanation. Thank you sir

[labscience]

You are superb bro..the main point is you have the key points, and u describe those very clear as water..im mls graduate from 🇱🇰,

[keitumetsedorothy]

I’ve been watching your videos since 2017😭😭always helpful ❤️

[kritikasaini]

you are amazing . i all ways study my immuno. and biochem. from your videos and it increase my knowledge every time.

[drashtijhajaria]

Thank you Sir for making our studies simpler and interesting.
