The linked receptor of t-cells and b-cells, and chemical stimulus from the t-cell stimulates the b-cells: proliferation and differentiation of b-cells. Two types of cells are formed: memory cells and plasma cells: memory cells play role in future exposure to the same antigen, plasma cells synthesize and release the antibodies. It consists of 4 protein chains: 2 identical heavy chains, antibodies are specific proteins (immunoglobulins ig) developed by the body that is invaded by a. 2: 2 identical light chains, each antibody molecule has two binding sites (site that binds to antigen, antibody molecule is made up of, constant region, variable region. Antibody-antigen interactions binds the epitope of the antigen: complementary fit between antigen and antibody is needed, the better the fit the better the stimulation of the lymphocytes.
