🔬Hodgkin's lymphoma involves an abnormality in the lymphocyte pathway
🧬The disease primarily affects B cells and can result in the formation of memory B cells and plasma cells
🔎The process of class switching occurs, leading to the production of different antibodies by B cells
⚖️Centrocytes undergo class switching and differentiate into either memory B cells or plasma cells
📚Lymph nodes play a crucial role in the development and maturation of lymphocytes
What is Hodgkin's lymphoma?
—Hodgkin's lymphoma is a disease that involves alterations in the lymphocyte pathway, primarily affecting B cells.
What are memory B cells?
—Memory B cells are a type of B cell that has been exposed to antigens and has strong affinity for them. They play a crucial role in the immune response.
What are plasma cells?
—Plasma cells are specialized immune cells that produce and release antibodies, helping the body fight against infections.
What is class switching?
—Class switching is a process in which B cells change the class of antibodies they produce, leading to the production of different types of antibodies.
What is the role of lymph nodes?
—Lymph nodes play a crucial role in the development, maturation, and differentiation of lymphocytes.
