MBC
Molecular classification
B Lymphocyte, Adaptive Immune Cell
01

Overview

Memory B cells (MBCs) are a specialized type of B lymphocyte that form a critical component of the adaptive immune system. These cells develop within germinal centers of secondary lymphoid organs and play a fundamental role in immunological memory, providing long-term protection against previously encountered pathogens. They are characterized by their ability to rapidly respond to antigen recall and differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells.
