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.
