Where do these cells originate and where do they mature ?
B and T cells, both originate in the Bone marrow. B-cells mature within the bone marrow whereas T-cells travel to the thymus to get mature.
ReplyDeleteVery Good Carolina , seems that your reading the book. Now let me tell you more about it, sometimes the T-cells fails to get mature because their are problems with the Thymus. What do you think will happen to the body if this was the problem?
