Mammalian immune-system bone-marrow cells {B cell}| synthesize and secrete antibodies and migrate to spleen, liver, and lymph nodes. If antigens meet B cells with correct antibodies, B cells transform into plasma cells.
antibodies
B cells differentiate from making IgM to making IgG to making IgA. B cells transpose variable region, located far from constant-region gene, to joining region, to make different antibodies. Enhancer activates only one variable-gene promoter. Vertebrate immune-system B cells use controlled transposition to make one antibody. Antibodies have constant regions. Various joining regions can attach to constant region. Various variable regions, located far from constant region in genome, can transpose to joining region.
