Plasma Cells

Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell and are the end product of B-Cell maturation. They are mainly responsible for the production of antibodies and are key in the generation of humoral immunity, which is the primary mechanism of protection in the adaptive immune system. Plasma cells play an important role in the defense against infections and in the modulation of the response to disease. Their role in the production of antibodies also makes them useful in the diagnosis and treatment of various autoimmune, metabolic, and infectious diseases.
