Differentiated B-Cells, or Plasma cells, along with a variety of other lymphocytes are most commonly found in the lamina propria, or subendothelial layer of the tissues which are most readily accessible to foreign antigens, i.e. gastrointestinal tract, respiratory passages, and urogenital tract.

Antibody-producing cells found in the epithelium of the lungs and gut and also in bone-forming tissue. They develop in the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow when antigens stimulate lymphocytes to form the precursor cells that give rise to them.
Plasma cells are typically found in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. They are also present in mucosal tissues such as the intestines and respiratory tract in response to inflammation or infection.
Plasma cells develop from transformed B cells, specifically activated B cells that have undergone differentiation into plasma cells. T cells do not give rise to plasma cells.
No, plasma cells develop from B cells after exposure to an antigen. T cells play a role in activating B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and produce antibodies. Plasma cells are responsible for producing large amounts of antibodies specific to the antigen encountered.
Plasma cells arise from B cells during the immune response. B cells differentiate into plasma cells in response to antigen stimulation, and plasma cells are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies to fight off pathogens.
Both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane.
Helper T cells (Th2 cells) play a role in activating plasma cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies. Helper T cells release cytokines that stimulate B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and produce specific antibodies against pathogens.
