English term or phrase: AFC - antibody forming cell
In a figure, I have "plasma cell (AFC)". I understand AFC stands for antibody forming cell. My question is, do I keep "AFC" or does this have an equivalent in French? Thanks for your kind hemp.

neutral  PLR TRADUZIO (X): Une seule ref c'est peu non ? Même si c'est Bach.//C'est juste un pb de jargon scientifique Kevin; former n'est pas produire, et on ne dit pas "cellule formant les Ac". //Kevin, ce n'est pas le CNRS qui l'utilise, mais la trad, de qui?, d'une pub en russe

  -> C'était la seule avec l'acronyme. J'en ai ajouté d'autres sans l'acronyme. Former et produire, personnellement je ne vois pas de différence.
