Plasma cells are mature B-lymphocytes that produce large quantities of antibodies.
A plasma cell contains abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) dilated with newly synthesized proteins, a prominent Golgi apparatus, and the absence of secretion granules.
Nucleus (blue) - eccentric location, indented, and heterochromatin clumped at the periphery ("clockface").
Nuclear Envelope (purple) - ribosomes bound to the outer nuclear membrane dialate its lumen with newly synthesized proteins.
