*'''Bacterium permeability increasing factor''' - a lipopolysaccharide binding protein produced by granulocytes resulting in the permeability of bacteria
*'''Bacterium permeability increasing factor''' - a lipopolysaccharide binding protein produced by granulocytes resulting in the permeability of bacteria
*'''Basophylic granulocytes''' - small population of leukocytes found in the blood that are readily stainable with basic dyes (also known as a '''basophil''')
*'''Beta-2-Microglobulin''' - a cellular glycoprotein that binds non-covalently to the alpha chain of the MHC-classI molecule to form a stable molecule complex
*'''Bioassay''' - a scientific experiment/test using living materials (cells, laboratory animals)
*'''Bionomics''' - influence of the environment on the development of the free-living life-cycle stages
*'''Bionomics''' - influence of the environment on the development of the free-living life-cycle stages
*'''Biotic Potential''' - ability of an organism to increase in numbers
*'''Biotic Potential''' - ability of an organism to increase in numbers
*'''Biotin''' - a molecules used in multiphase biochemical reactions due to its high affinity for avidin/streptavidin. Synonymous with '''vitamin H'''
*'''Blocking/enhancing antibodies''' - antibodies that block tumour associated antigens blocking a CD8-cell immune response to these antigens. This was proven through the transfer of serum from animals that had a tumour to animals with the same type of tumour. This transfer enhanced the development of the recipients tumour
*'''Blood-brain-barrier''' - prevents diffusion of many molecules to enter extracellular tissue of the central nervous system from the blood vessels. This occurs as astrocyte processes form a biochemical support for endothelial cells
*'''Blot/to blot''' - method of transfering proteins from a gel onto a film
*'''Bottle jaw''' - describes the jaw line as it is seen in cattle suffering from Johne's disease
*'''Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD)''' - lethal disease of bovines due to the lack of leukocytal integrin. As a result neutrophils do not adhere to the endothelium and are therefor not able to challenge bacterial caused inflammations
*'''Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD)''' - flu like bovine disease
*'''Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV)''' - causative pathogen of BVD and mucosal disease
