During development, millions of B cell types are produced. Each B cell has a unique antigen receptor generated from different V, D, and J gene segments by a series of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The unique antigen receptors on B cells are generated through a process called V(D)J recombination, which is a type of site-specific recombination event that occurs during B-cell differentiation. This process rearranges the V (variable), D (diversity), and J (joining) gene segments to create a unique gene that codes for the B cell receptor.
