Plasma Cells
Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell (B lymphocyte) that are important for the immune system. They are produced in the bone marrow, and their main function is to produce antibodies that fight against foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, in the body. Plasma cells help to protect the body by targeting and destroying invaders, as well as helping to destroy diseased cells. Plasma cells are also important for stimulating other parts of the immune system, such as T lymphocytes, to fight infection. Plasma cells also play an important role in diagnosing and treating autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
