what do plasma cells do
How do plasma cells form, and how do they help fight pathogens. Answers. Plasma cells, they are also called plasma B cells, or effector B cells, are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Plasma cells originate in the bone marrow; B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell.
