What Does BCP Stand For?
BCP stands for B Cell Precursor
BCP, or B Cell Precursor, refers to an immature cell in the B cell lineage of the immune system. These precursors develop from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and undergo several stages of maturation, ultimately differentiating into functional B cells that play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response by producing antibodies. BCPs are vital for the development of humoral immunity and are involved in the body's defense against pathogens.
