Detailed explanation-1: -The humoral immune response is mediated by antibody molecules that are secreted by plasma cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humoral immunity is the process of adaptive immunity manifested by the production of antibodies by B lymphocytes. It develops in bone marrow. B cells may be triggered to proliferate into plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -B cells are at the centre of the adaptive humoral immune system and are responsible for mediating the production of antigen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) directed against invasive pathogens (typically known as antibodies).
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -They produce antibodies that circulate in body fluid and kill the pathogens. Q. are produced by B cells and this response is known as humoral immunity.
