The human B-lymphocyte is characterized by the presence of readily detectable surface immunoglobulins. Upto 10 percent of peripheral blood lymphocytes and 68-70 percent of the lymphocytes in lymph nodes are of the B-cell type. When stimulated by antigen and aided by T-helper lymphocytes, Bcells differentiate into plasma cells which are the primary antibody-producing cells. The molecular weight of IgG is 150,000 consisting of two gamma heavy chains and two kappa or lambda light chains. It has been used in the classification of leukemias, plasmacytomas and certain non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.
