THE GOOD BAD AND UGLY OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Produces antibodies to fight the antigen and marks the antigen
A
Macraphage
B
T Cells
C
B Cells
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes produce antibodies-proteins (gamma globulins) that recognize foreign substances (antigen) and attach themselves to them. B lymphocytes (or B cells) are each programmed to make one specific antibody.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -In addition to IgM, B1 B cells also produce polyreactive IgA antibodies that contribute to mucosal immunity along with IgA secreted by FO B cells (8).

Detailed explanation-5: -B-cells produce antibodies that destroy antigens or the pathogen associated with a particular antigen. B-cells can also remember specific antigens so your immune system can launch an effective defense if the pathogen ever enters your body again.
