Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simultaneously ligating the B-cell receptor and co-receptor can increase B cell's sensitivity to antigen by 1000-10,0000-fold. This is because both receptors work together to provide a stronger and more specific signal to the B cell, leading to enhanced activation and proliferation. Activation of the B-cell receptor alone is not enough to induce a robust immune response, hence the importance of co-receptor signaling.
