Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Antibiotics work by killing bacteria. They do not work against viruses. Although antibiotics can kill the ‘good bacteria’ in your body, they do not work against your body’s immune response of making antibodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -If an antigen enters the body and B-cells recognize it (either from having had the disease before or from being vaccinated against it), B-cells will produce antibodies. When antibodies attach to an antigen (think a lock–key configuration), it signals other parts of the immune system to attack and destroy the invaders.
