Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following cells arise from the differentiation of activated naive B cells and are responsible for antibody production. Is it answer choice. A memory B cells, answer choice B regulatory B cells, answer choice C plasma cells or answer choice DB two cells. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following cell types arises from the differentiation of activated naive B cells and our responsible for antibody production. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about those activated naive B cells and what types of cells arise from the differentiation of those activated naive B cells to determine which cell type is responsible for antibody production. And we can recall that activated naive B cells can differentiate into two main cell types, which includes plasma cells and memory b cells, which those plasma cells are responsible for antibody production. And the memory b cells remember the encountered antigen and contribute to a faster and more robust immune response. But since we are talking about the type of cell that arises from the differentiation of activated naive B cells that is responsible for antibody production. We know that those plasma cells are responsible for antibody production. So answer choice C plasma cells is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
