Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The adaptive (specific) immune system makes antibodies and uses them to specifically fight certain germs that the body has previously come into contact with. This is also known as an “acquired” (learned) or specific immune response.
