They are made and mature in the blood marrow and part of the function of helper T cells is facilitating their maturation into plasma cells.
The PAX5 gene plays a role in these cells' differentiation by encoding their specific activator protein, and the MS4A1 gene encodes a marker located on the surface of them. Their primary receptor and Toll-like receptors on their surface work together to stimulate the production of CD80 and CD86, which interact with CD28 on another class of immune cells. Rituximab is used when lymphoma has been determined to be caused by these cells, often identified by the expression of CD20 on their surfaces. They are made and mature in the blood marrow and part of the function of helper T cells is facilitating their maturation into plasma cells. For 10 points, name this type of lymphocytes which aid in immune response by producing antibodies.
