Definition
-surface Ig on mature B cells with unknown function |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-mature naive B cells express ONLY IgM or IgD as membrane bound receptors
-activated B cells can switch class or isotype of Ig being produced
-happens outside of the bone marrow
-stimulated by antigen binding to BCR |
