Immunology assignment lymph node

[smen]

I have this homework assignment and I can't figure out the answer to 2 of the questions. I've read all the chapters and still am lost. Could someone please guide me or give me an idea of what the answer is?

 

1. A mouse is immunized with bovine serum albumin. Describe what happens in peripheral lymph nodes after a first and second injection of antigen.

 

2. What are the steps involved in forming an Ig gene that will encode a complete immunoglobulin molecule?

 

Thanks in advance-

May
