When stimulated, B cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies specific to the antigen that triggered the immune response. Memory B cells remain in the body long-term, providing a quicker and more robust response if the same antigen is encountered again in the future. This differentiation is crucial for the adaptive immune response and long-term immunity.
