Clonal Selection of B Cells: Clonal selection occurs when a B cell with a receptor specific to an antigen proliferates and differentiates into plasma cells for antibody production and memory B cells for long-term immunity.
T and B Cell Binding: T and B cells bind to antigens through specialized receptors; T cells recognize antigen-MHC complexes, while B cells bind free antigens directly, initiating immune responses like cytokine release or antibody production.
