Final
Exam
B-lymphocytes
-
ANS...,
Responsible
for
humoral
immunity.
B-Cells
are
exposed
to
an
antigen.
When
they
encounter
an
antigen
they
imprint
the
antigen.
Every
bacteria
has
an
antigenic
site
or
antigenic
marker.
Immune
system
will
respond
to
marker.
Types
of
immunity

in
lg
quantities
&
work
in
the

so
that
the
immune
cells
(for
example,

differ
from
most
other
bacteria
in
that
they
can
live

multiply
only
inside
the

are
generally
specific
for
a
