Detailed explanation-1: -Humoral immunity is also called antibody-mediated immunity. With assistance from helper T cells, B cells will differentiate into plasma B cells that can produce antibodies against a specific antigen. The humoral immune system deals with antigens from pathogens that are freely circulating, or outside the infected cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -B-lymphocytes form army of proteins called antibodies in response to pathogen in blood and are stimulated by antigen and T-helper cells. Therefore, B-lymphocytes provide humoral mediated immunity. T-lymphocytes provide cell mediated immunity. So, the correct option is ‘B-lymphocytes’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antigen-specific antibody production. The immunity triggered by B-cells/B-lymphocytes. Antibody production by plasma B-cells. Mediation of immunity by B-cells, T-cells, and macrophages. More items •27-Aug-2022
