IMMUNE RESPONSE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do B cells produce?
A
antigens
B
macrophages
C
T cells
D
antibodies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each B cell produces a single species of antibody, each with a unique antigen-binding site. When a naïve or memory B cell is activated by antigen (with the aid of a helper T cell), it proliferates and differentiates into an antibody-secreting effector cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once B-cells are activated, they become plasma cells that produce antibodies in response to an antigen. Or they become memory cells that remember the antigen so your immune system can quickly identify and fight it in the future.

Detailed explanation-3: -T-cells. While B-cells produce antibodies to fight infection, T-cells protect people from getting infected by destroying cancerous and infected cells. B-cells are also far more likely than T-cells to mutate into a liquid cancer such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or B-cell lymphoma.
