Reads more like a 3 or 4th year university text book than an encyclopedia

Encyclopedic articles should give an introduction to a topic, or at least have an introductory section.

This article reads like someone copied lingo out of a text book without knowing what the words and concepts really mean. Not knowing what the words really mean means being unable to translate into language people outside the field will understand. 50.71.80.195 (talk) 12:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Image and material

I removed some unsourced material: Memory B cell response on first, and second infections of a virus.
1. Antigens from the virus are brought into the body, and are then accepted by the receptors on the B cells.
2. The B cells accept the antigens, and then start to allow the antigens to change the antibodies and the B cell.
3. The B cells either change into memory B cells, or create plasma cells that secrete the newly changed antigens.
4. On the second infection when that same viruses antigens are present the memory B cells recognize this virus. This causes a much larger response from these memory B cells compared to the first response of the B cells.
5. Since there was a much larger response from the Memory B cells this causes more plasma cells to be produced as a response. When there are more abundant plasma cells, more antibodies are then produced as a result of this.

Editing and cleaning up the Memory B cell page

Hello. Over the next few weeks I will be working on this page by adding information from reliable sources and organizing information. Here are some of the sources that I plan on using: 1.
