Specific Immunity Antibodies video



The three parts of the video I would like to point out are:

0:42, the tan cells that are being created. What is happening is the B-cells are creating new B-cells from the Antibodies and Antigens. B-cells are one of the two kinds of white cells.

0:49, the four blue cells surrounding the B-cell labeled "Plasma cells". In this point of the video the Plasma cells are the cells that are created by the B-cells, because some multiply more than once which is called colonial selection.Plasma cells transport a large amount of antibodies into the blood stream.

0:13, it is specifically showing the points on the rectangular brown cell labeled "Antigens", and the Y shaped pink things on the cell labeled "Antibodies". It is explaining how Antibodies are proteins that bind foreign proteins called Antigens and like mentioned before create B-cells using the matching antibodies.(that is how the Antibodies and Antigens "bind").
