  • What is a lymphocyte?

    There are 2 main types of lymphocyte, the B lymphocyte (sometimes called the B cell) and the T lymphocyte (sometimes called the T cell). Both of these originate from a common precursor and develop in the bone marrow early in pre-natal development.

  • Understanding the immune response.

    After production, some antibodies remain on the surface of a B lymphocyte (also called a B cell). These antibodies function as receptors, to allow the B lymphocyte to recognize specific antigens.

  • A review of clonal selection in immunology

    Any single lymphocyte (B or T cell) expresses receptors with a single specificity, and at any given time there will be millions of lymphocytes with millions of different specificities in your body.

  • Generation of Diversity

    This specificity is determined by the re-arrangement and recombination of DNA during lymphocyte development in the bone marrow or thymus.

  • Cell Biology: DNA and Viruses

    Why would this make M13 less suitable than T2 for the Hershey and Chase experiment? 2. Adenovirus has a double-stranded linear DNA genome that measures 12.2 m in length. How many base pairs make up the adenovirus genome? 3.
