Question

Can you live without B-cells?

Answer 1

Function of B-cells:

• B-cells are part of adaptive humoral immunity, they produce antibodies.
• Antibodies are antigen-specific immunoglobulin molecules.
• They protect us from foreign molecules (pathogens).

Life without B-cells:

• The adaptive humoral immunity will not work to protect our body without the availability of B-cells.
• The immunodeficiency disorders will arise as a result of this.
• Without B-cells, we will be vulnerable to invasive pathogens.
• In such case, some pathogens may cause a fatal disease which will lead to death of an individual.
