Antigen exposure is necessary to
A) induce genetic hypermutation in B cells with productive antibody genes.
B) stimulate B cells to differentiate to plasma cell.
C) stimulate B cells to produce soluble antibodies.
D) stimulate B cell differentiation, antibody production, and genetic hypermutation of antibody genes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antigen exposure is necessary to stimulate B cell differentiation, antibody production, and genetic hypermutation of antibody genes. This process allows for the generation of high-affinity antibodies that can specifically recognize and bind to the antigen. Without antigen exposure, B cells are unable to undergo this process and generate effective immune responses.
