Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Adaptive immune responses are carried out by white blood cells called lymphocytes. There are two broad classes of such responses-antibody responses and cell-mediated immune responses, and they are carried out by different classes of lymphocytes, called B cells and T cells, respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
