B Lymphocyte Collection

Blood cells, computer artwork. Red blood cells (red), or erythrocytes, are biconcave disc-shaped cells that are responsible for supplying tissues with oxygen

Plasma cells, TEM
Plasma cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of plasma cells. Plasma cells are mature B lymphocytes (white blood cells) that produce and secrete antibodies during an immune response

Blood cells, illustration C018 / 0802
Blood cells. All cellular blood components originate from the same cell, the haematopoietic stem cell. The stem cell differentiates into two types of progenitor cells

Lymph node hyperplasia, light micrograph C015 / 6224
Lymph node hyperplasia. Light micrograph of a section through a lymph node showing follicular hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is the abnormal proliferation of cells

White blood cells. Computer artwork of B lymphocytes, or B cells, each containing an antibody molecule. B cells mature in the bone marrow

White blood cells, SEM
White blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of B lymphocyte white blood cells. Magnification: x5000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

Plasma cell, TEM
Plasma cell, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This section has revealed the cells large central nucleus (brown)

B lymphocytes, also known as B cells, are a crucial component of our immune system. These specialized blood cells play a vital role in defending our body against harmful pathogens and foreign substances. When an infection or allergen enters our system they can activated and undergo differentiation. Some of these cells transform into plasma cells, which produce antibodies that specifically target the invading pathogen. This process is illustrated in TEM images C018 / 0802 and shows the intricate structure of these plasma cells. In cases of perfume allergies or other hypersensitivity reactions, B lymphocytes respond by generating an immune response to combat the perceived threat. The artwork depicting this perfume allergy response showcases how these blood cells mobilize to protect us from potential harm. Lymph node hyperplasia can occur when there is an excessive proliferation of B lymphocytes within the lymph nodes. A light micrograph (C015 / 6224) captures this phenomenon, highlighting the importance of regulating B cell activity for proper immune function. White blood cells encompass various types involved in immunity, including B lymphocytes. SEM images demonstrate their appearance under high magnification and reveal their distinct morphology within our bloodstream. TEM images further showcase plasma cell structures with remarkable detail. These antibody-producing machines have unique features that enable them to efficiently neutralize pathogens and prevent further infections from occurring.
