IMMUNE RESPONSE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the measles virus. How is this helpful in human immune response?
A
The B-cells use this recognition to defend the body against other pathogens, such as bacteria.
B
The B-cells more quickly recognize and respond to any other virus that invades the body.
C
The B-cells produce antibodies more quickly if the measles virus is encountered again.
D
The B-cells transfer this recognition to T-cells, which will then devour the viruses.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The characteristic disease features of measles–fever and rash–are associated with the immune response to infection and are coincident with virus clearance. MV-specific antibody and CD4 and CD8 T cell responses are generated and contribute to virus clearance and protection from reinfection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person’s system. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific.

Detailed explanation-4: -After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the measles virus. How is this helpful in human immune response? A. The B-cells use this recognition to defend the body against other pathogens, such as bacteria.
