Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of immune response are B cells responsible for?
A
humoral
B
systemic
C
cell mediated
D
general
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The B Cells have the ability to transform into plasmocytes and are responsible for producing antibodies (Abs). Thus, humoral immunity depends on the B Cells while cell immunity depends on the T Cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -B cells create antibodies. B lymphocytes, also called B cells, create a type of protein called an antibody. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -B cell activation is initiated by the binding of antigen to the B cell receptor (BCR) that triggers a number of signaling cascades that ultimately lead to B cell activation.
