Plasma cells also called plasma B cells plasmocytes and effector B cells are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Like all blood cells plasma cells originate in the bone marrow; however these cells leave the bone marrow as B cells before terminal differentiation into plasma cells normally in lymph nodes.
