Question: Which cells produce antibodies?
Options:
B-cells
T-cells
Lymphocytes
M-cells
-B-cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the humoral immune response. They produce antibodies, which are proteins that recognize and bind to specific antigens (foreign substances) like bacteria or viruses. Antibodies help neutralize pathogens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells.
📌Other Options Explanations:
-A. T-cells: T-cells are another type of white blood cell involved in the cell-mediated immune response. They directly attack infected cells or help regulate the immune response. While important for immunity.
-C. Lymphocytes: Lymphocytes are a broader category of white blood cells that includes both B-cells and T-cells. While B-cells produce antibodies.
-D. M-cells: M-cells are specialized epithelial cells found in the lining of the gut. They play a role in transporting antigens from the gut lumen to underlying immune cells
