What Does AFC Stand For?
AFC stands for Antibody Forming Cell
AFC, or Antibody Forming Cell, refers to a type of immune cell that is responsible for producing antibodies in response to an antigen. These cells, primarily derived from activated B lymphocytes, play a crucial role in the adaptive immune system by generating specific antibodies that help identify and neutralize pathogens, thereby providing immunity against infections. AFCs are essential for maintaining the body's defense mechanisms and are a key focus in immunology and vaccine development.
