Antibodies are produced by which cells?

AT-lymphocytes
BB-lymphocytes
CRed blood cells
DPlatelets
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. B-lymphocytes
1. Acquired immunity is carried out by two kinds of lymphocyte. 2. B-lymphocytes produce an army of proteins in response to pathogens. 3. Those proteins are the antibodies. 4. T-lymphocytes do not themselves produce antibodies; they mediate cell mediated immunity and help B cells. 5. Attributing antibody production to T cells is the most common slip in this topic. _Source: syllabus Biology Ch7 'Human Health and Disease', section 7.2.2_
