Detailed explanation-2: -B lymphocytes or B cells produce antibodies involved in humoral immunity. B cells are produced in the bone marrow, where the initial stages of maturation occur, and travel to the spleen for final steps of maturation into naïve mature B cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humoral immunity B cell lymphocytes, a type of immune cell that makes antibodies after detecting a specific antigen, are principally responsible for this method. Lymphocytes known as naive B cells circulate throughout the body via the lymphatic system.
