what are plasma cells?
the end result of Ag-driven B cell maturation that produces large amount of Ab, is short lived and do not circulate (found in bone marrow)
what are natural killer cells?
neither T nor B cells; they kill tumor cells and virus infected cells as part of the innate response with a base line activity secreting IFNγ which plays a role in activating acquired response
