Question

B lymph In order to be fully activated, the B cell requires a cytokine signal from 2 Once activated, the B cell proliferates into long-lived , which fight future infections Activated B cells also generate shorter-lived , which fight the current infection. These cells fight the infection by releasing 5 which bind to the pathogens that are spreading in the body These help reduce the infection by 6 and by increasing 7 by marking them for destruction bind an antigen on the pathogen with its 1 1antibodies 2 neutralizing the specific pathogen 3BCr : neutralizing the specific pathogen # memory B ceils 6plasma cells 7phagocytosis r is partially correct

Explanation / Answer

1) B lymphocytes bind an antigen on the pathogen with its BCR.

2) A cytokine signal from T helper cell (Th) cells.

3) Long-lived memory B cells.

4) Shorter-lived plasma cells.

5) By releasing antibodies.

6) Reduce the infection by phagocytosis

7) By increasing neutralizing the specific pathogen
