Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the immune system is responsible for making antibodies that tag invaders for destruction
A
Vaccines
B
Macrophages
C
T-cell
D
B-cell
E
Skin and membranes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrophils-These are the most numerous type of innate immune responder cells. Their primary job is to destroy pathogens.

Detailed explanation-2: -The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after the body has been exposed to the invader.

Detailed explanation-3: -The adaptive immune system Lymphocytes arise continuously from progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Lymphocytes synthesize cell surface receptors or secrete proteins that specifically bind to foreign molecules. These secreted proteins are known as antibodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -That’s the job of the T cells. They destroy antigens tagged by antibodies or cells that are infected or somehow changed. (Some T cells are actually called “killer cells.") T cells also help signal other cells (like phagocytes) to do their jobs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The white blood cells and activated complement components work together to attack the invaders. Synthesized exclusively by B cells, antibodies are produced in billions of forms, each with a different amino acid sequence and a different antigen-binding site.

Detailed explanation-6: -Lymph nodes contain immune cells that analyze the foreign invaders brought into your body. They then activate, replicate and send the specific lymphocytes (white blood cells) to fight off that particular invader. You have hundreds of lymph nodes all over your body, including in your neck, armpits, and groin.
