The figure shown illustrates clonal expansion of activated B cells.What are the two cell types produced by this cell line?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure indicates that the activated B cells are undergoing clonal expansion, which means they are dividing to produce a large number of identical daughter cells. These daughter cells can differentiate into two types: plasma cells, which are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies, and memory B cells, which can quickly activate and differentiate into plasma cells upon re-exposure to the same antigen. Therefore, the two cell types produced by this cell line are plasma cells and memory B cells, which is option A. Option B and C are incorrect because they refer to T cell-related cell types, and option D is incorrect because dendritic cells are not produced by activated B cells.
