| 33. | A bone marrow biopsy is usually performed to estimate the percentage of bone marrow occupied by plasma cells.
|
| 34. | About 10 % of plasma cells survive to become long-lived antigen-specific memory B cells.
|
| 35. | TLR10 has also been shown to be produced intracellularly in neutrophils and B cells differentiating into plasma cells.
|
| 36. | XBP1 is also essential for differentiation of plasma cells ( a type of antibody secreting immune cell ).
|
| 37. | When there are more abundant plasma cells, more antibodies are then produced as a result of this.
|
| 38. | Common variable immunodeficiency is thought to be due to a problem in the differentiation from lymphocytes to plasma cells.
