B cells are lymphocytes that form part of the humoral immunity branch of the adaptive immune system. They work by producing the neccessary antibodies and presenting antigens to the T cells via immunoglobulin surface receptors. B cells are produced from the pluripotent precursor cells found in the bone marrow.
