B cells are the cells of the immune system that make antibodies
Remember….
![Page 26: Immunity & Disease](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681479d550346895db4d485/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Each B cell produces a unique antibody that recognizes a specific piece of foreign material (e.g., pathogen)
The different antibodies are unique from each other by having different variable regions!

How do B cells produce different variable regions of antibodies?
• We are able to make so many different antibodies due to another phenomenon called VDJ Recombination
![Page 36: Immunity & Disease](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681479d550346895db4d485/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How do B cells produce different variable regions of antibodies?
• We are able to make so many different antibodies due to another phenomenon called VDJ Recombination
• VDJ recombination is the process by which V, D, and J genes are randomly selected and combined to form the heavy and light chains that make antibodies.
![Page 37: Immunity & Disease](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681479d550346895db4d485/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• VDJ recombination is specific to certain cells of the immune system and does not occur in other cells of our body.

The inability of immune cells to perform VDJ recombination has very serious
consequences!
Individuals with a defect in VDJ recombination, lack diversity in their antibody production, and as a result have severely weakened immune systems (immunodeficiency)

Once a B cell recognizes a pathogen, how does it trigger an immune response?
• This activation leads to the release of antibodies and clonal expansion.

One B cell isn’t going to release enough antibody on its own to fight a pathogen. So it makes clones of itself.
A clone is an exact genetic copy of another cell.
![Page 57: Immunity & Disease](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681479d550346895db4d485/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Memory B Cells
After clonal expansion, some B cells turn into memory B cells.
These cells will remain in your body for years, ready to respond immediately if you encounter that pathogen again.

Memory B Cells
Memory B cells protect us from future infections…
Can we take advantage of memory B cells to prevent ourselves from getting sick?

How do vaccines work?Vaccines contain non-infectious versions of a pathogen:
Subunitvaccines
Killedvaccines
Modified livevaccines
![Page 63: Immunity & Disease](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681479d550346895db4d485/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
How do vaccines work?Vaccines contain non-infectious versions of a pathogen:
Subunitvaccines
Killedvaccines
Modified livevaccines
These incomplete or weakened versions won’t make us sick, but our body will still mount an immune response against them, creating memory B cells in the process.

What did we learn today?• Antibodies are proteins created by B cells that bind to
pathogens, a key step in our immune response.

What did we learn today?• Antibodies are proteins created by B cells that bind to
pathogens, a key step in our immune response.
• We are able to create a large variety of antibodies using VDJ Recombination and turning genes on and off.

What did we learn today?• Antibodies are proteins created by B cells that bind to
pathogens, a key step in our immune response.
• We are able to create a large variety of antibodies using VDJ Recombination and turning genes on and off.
• B cells mount an immune response by undergoing clonal
expansion.

• We are able to create a large variety of antibodies using VDJ Recombination and turning genes on and off.
• B cells mount an immune response by undergoing clonal

• We are protected from future infections by memory B cells.

• We are protected from future infections by memory B cells. • Vaccines are a method of creating memory B cells without
causing illness.
