B8

B8 is a term that can refer to several different concepts in various fields. In the context of medical science, B8 is a type of B cell, which is a type of white blood cell. B cells are a vital part of the immune system, responsible for producing antibodies that help the body fight off infections.

B Cells

B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. They are produced in the bone marrow and then migrate to the spleen and other lymphoid tissues where they mature and differentiate into effector B cells or memory B cells.

B cells are responsible for the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. In addition to their role in adaptive immunity, B cells also have regulatory functions in the immune system.

B8 Cells

B8 cells are a subtype of B cells. Like all B cells, they are involved in the immune response. However, the specific role and characteristics of B8 cells are not well understood and are the subject of ongoing research.
