Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Antibodies are made by ____
A
Your own cells.
B
The pathogen.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are produced by B cells (specialized white blood cells). When an antigen comes into contact with a B cell, it causes the B cell to divide and clone. These cloned B cells-or plasma cells-release millions of antibodies into your bloodstream and lymph system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes in the absence of external antigen stimulation. With their ability to recognize self, altered self and foreign antigens, they comprise an important first-line defence against invading pathogens, but are also important for tissue homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order to adapt to invaders the body has never encountered before, the immune system can generate countless new antibodies. Scientists previously estimated that the human body can make at least a trillion unique antibodies.
