🎨 1.  It depicts #DNA transcription, as well as antigens to show that they are very closely related in the process of transcription and translation. Transcription of #Antibody coding genes drives somatic hypermutation and antibody diversity.
🎨 2. It represents how #Bcells develop, divide, and branch out to other organs from bone marrow, in which it all resembles a growing “tree”.
