Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the chicken pox virus. How is this helpful in human immune response?
A
The B-cells use this recognition to defend the body against other pathogens, such as bacteria.
B
The B-cells more quickly recognize and respond to any other virus that invades the body.
C
The B-cells produce antibodies more quickly if the chicken pox virus is encountered again.
D
The B-cells transfer this recognition to T-cells, which will then devour the viruses.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a virus like those that cause chickenpox and the flu enters your body, specialized cells in your immune system recognize it as foreign, and start to attack. Some immune system cells make antibodies. These molecules float in the blood and attach to any viruses that are in the blood to destroy them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The best way to prevent chickenpox is to get the chickenpox vaccine. Everyone-including children, adolescents, and adults-should get two doses of chickenpox vaccine if they have never had chickenpox or were never vaccinated. Chickenpox vaccine is very safe and effective at preventing the disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -B cells create antibodies. These antibodies bind to pathogens or to foreign substances, such as toxins, to neutralize them. For example, an antibody can bind to a virus, which prevents it from entering a normal cell and causing infection. B cells can also recruit other cells to help destroy an infected cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -4.7 Chickenpox: adaptive immunity in action Chickenpox infection demonstrates how effective the adaptive immune response can be in preventing reinfection with the chickenpox virus.
