Stem cells produce lymphocytes
Cells destined to become immune cells, like all blood cells, arise in the bone marrow from stem cells (see figure). Some stem cells develop into the small white blood cells called lymphocytes. The two major classes of lymphocytes are B cells (B lymphocytes) and T cells (T lymphocytes). Plasma cells develop from B cells
B cells produce Plasma cells which produce anitbodies
Here is a nice set of charts - but focus is on "B side" - which is where myeloma cancer resides
