Scope note: Formas especializadas de LINFOCITOS B productores de anticuerpos. Sintetizan y segregan inmunoglobulinas. Se encuentran solo en los órganos linfoides y en los sitios donde se produce la respuesta inmune, y normalmente no circulan en la sangre o linfa.

Scope note: Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.
