Hope this is what you're looking for!

Because some large antigens have repeating antigenic determinants that can be processed by B cells without the help of T cells, they are called T-independent antigens. The repeating subunits of T-independent antigens allow extensive cross-linking between numerous BCRs on a B cell, stimulating the B cell to proliferate. T-independent humoral immunity is relatively weak, disappears quickly, and induces little immunological memory.
