Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are naturally produced by plasma cells within the human body to mediate an adaptive immune response against invading pathogens. There are five predominant antibodies produced, each specialized to execute certain functions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Can your body make antibodies for pathogens that you have never been in contact with? Why or why not? No, the body is unable to make antibodies for pathogens in this situation. It is because antibodies are only activated once the immune system detects an antigen that is attached to a pathogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Immunodeficiency disorders may affect any part of the immune system. Most often, these conditions occur when special white blood cells called T or B lymphocytes (or both) do not function normally or your body does not produce enough antibodies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humoral immunity is immunity from serum antibodies produced by plasma cells. More specifically, someone who has never been exposed to a specific disease can gain humoral immunity through administration of antibodies from someone who has been exposed, and survived the same disease.
