The progeny cells of a B-cell clone are called:
A. plasma cells
B. sensitized T cells
C. activated macrophages

Asked by Daniellia

Answer (2)

The progeny cells of a B-cell clone are called plasma cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies. Upon activation, B-cells can differentiate into either plasma cells or memory B-cells, but it is the plasma cells that secrete antibodies. Sensitized T cells and activated macrophages are not progeny of B-cells but play other roles in the immune response. ;

The progeny cells of a B-cell clone are known as plasma cells, which produce antibodies essential for the immune response. Memory B-cells can also arise from B-cell activation but do not secrete antibodies. Other options, such as sensitized T cells and activated macrophages, are unrelated to B-cell progeny.
