The formation of B-cells occurs in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells<ref name="Althwaiqeb">Althwaiqeb, S. ''Histology, B Cell Lymphocyte''; StatPearls Publishing, 2023. </ref>. Once formed, B-cell receptors are attached to B-cells through the aid of membrane-bound proteins in bone marrow cells. During this process, gene recombination occurs, which allows unique BCRs to become highly specific to different antigens. Once they are formed, B-cells diverge and become either memory cells or plasma cells. Memory cells still have BCRs and initiate a faster immune response, while plasma cells secrete antibodies in response to foreign antigens~~[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_cell]~~.
