BIOS 242 Week 5 Discussion 2 – Adaptive Immunity Question Your friend Bruce calls in a panic. He has just come from the doctor and been diagnosed with a bacterial infection.

The doctor is very correct to say that B cells will take care of the bacterial infection thatBrucewasdiagnosedwith.Bcellsarelymphocytes,orthecellsoftheadaptiveimmunesystem,that can effectively fight off several common viruses and bacteria. B cells are obtained from thebone marrow and play a variety of crucial roles in the adaptive immune system. Not only arethey involved with the production of antibodies, but B cells also take part in the secretion ofcytokine and antigen presentation. Besides, t...
