Detailed explanation-1: -The humoral immune response is mediated by antibody molecules that are secreted by plasma cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary cell responsible for generating humoral immunity is the B lymphocyte.
Detailed explanation-3: -B cell or B lymphocyte (bursa-derived cells) is a key player of the adaptive immune response that is responsible for humoral immunity in mammals. B-cell production in humans is a lifelong process that starts in the fetal liver intrauterine and bone marrow after birth. Their development is from hematopoietic stem cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humoral immunity is a function of B cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -B cells create antibodies. These antibodies bind to pathogens or to foreign substances, such as toxins, to neutralize them. For example, an antibody can bind to a virus, which prevents it from entering a normal cell and causing infection. B cells can also recruit other cells to help destroy an infected cell.
