A) When a person is exposed to an antigen, B cells get activated by TH cells, proliferating and differentiating to form populations of plasma cells and memory cells.
B) Plasma cells produce antibodies which are specific proteins that bind to the antigens, tagging them for elimination by other immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils.
