plasma cell
A plasma cell is a type of white blood cell, or lymphocyte, that produces and secretes antibodies in response to foreign substances or pathogens in the body. These cells play a central role in adaptive immunity. Plasma cells develop from B cells, another type of white blood cell, after they have encountered a specific antigen.

Plasma cell
Plasma cells, also called plasma B cells, plasmocytes, and effector B cells, are white blood cells which secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Like all blood cells, plasma cells ultimately originate in the bone marrow; however, these cells leave the bone marrow as B cells, before terminal differentiation into plasma cells, normally in lymph nodes.
