Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which lymphocyte produces antibodies?
A
B-lymphocyte
B
T-lymphocyte
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -Most common type of B cell and, when not circulating through the blood, is found mainly in the lymphoid follicles of secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs). They are responsible for generating the majority of high-affinity antibodies during an infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -B-1a cells and their natural antibody products provide innate protection against bacterial infections in naive hosts, while B-1b cells function independently as the primary source of long-term adaptive antibody responses to polysaccharides and other T cell–independent type 2 antigens during infection.
