MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A protein made by plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) in response to an antigen (a substance that causes the body to make a specific immune response). Each antibody can bind to only one specific antigen. The purpose of this binding is to help destroy the antigen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The B cell receptor used in recognition can also be secreted to bind to antigens and initiate multiple effector functions such as phagocytosis, complement activation, or neutralization of receptors.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of B-cells: plasma cells and memory cells. Both types help protect you from infection and disease. Plasma cells: Plasma cells release antibodies in response to antigens. Once a B-cell becomes a mature plasma cell, it can release up to 2, 000 antibodies per second.
