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. | The formation of B-cells occurs in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells<ref name="Althwaiqeb">Althwaiqeb, S.
