B Lymphocyte (B Cell) (HIV and AIDs)

One of the two major classes of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes are blood cells of the immune system derived from bone marrow and spleen. During infections, these cells are transformed into plasma cells that produce large quantities of antibody directed at specific pathogens. When antibodies bind to foreign proteins, such as those that occur naturally on the surfaces of bacteria, they mark the foreign cells for elimination by other cells of the immune system. This process occurs through interactions with various types of T-cells and other components of the immune system.
