      B-cells produce and secrete antibodies. There are different sub-set of B-cells some include plasma cells and memory cells. Some are short acting and others stay in the bloodstream to provide protection from future infections.

      Exactly what Sian said! B-cells are part of our adaptive immune system which reacts to antigens detected in the body
