That is the job of the B-cells, or B Lymphocytes.

Cells that remember how to make antibodies for a specific pathogen?
this is called memory B cells
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
Why do each pathogen need a specific antibody?
each pathogen has a antigene which the antibodies attach to so each pathogen needs a unique antibodie
How does Producing antibodies protect you against diseases?
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
What traps a pathogen?
antibodies
Can your body make antibodies for pathogen that you have never been in contact with?
It varies, but most likely not.
How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?
The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. As it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
Which of the following initiates an attack against a specific antigen or pathogen?
Plasma Cell initiate attacks against specific antigens. Plasma cells are B cells bearing specific antibodies for binding to a specific antigen.
Why you have antibodies?
Antibodies are used to fight from foreign particles (pathogen generally) entering in the body of an individual.
What is the difference between an antigen and pathogen?
an aepitope is the part of an antigen where antibodiy or lymphocyte receptor binds
Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
Which antibody protect harmful effect?
All antibodies prevent the harmful effects of viruses. B cells create antibodies for one specific virus that has been detected by the immune system. Once the antibodies reach a pathogen, they bind to the receptors of the virus, disabling it and rendering it useless.
