What is specialized lymphocytes that produce and secrete antibodies?
B cells
What produce secrete antibodies?
B lymphocytes.
Activated lymphocytes that produce antibodies are?
B lymphocytes are the cells that secrete the antibodies in response to infection in body.
Which cells secrete the antibodies?
Lymphocytes LB
Is adaptive immunity provided only by lymphocytes that secrete antibodies?
false
Which cells make antibodies?
B lymphocytes are the white blood cells that produce plasma cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that recognize foreign materials and help the body destroy or neutralize them. The type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies to kill microorganisms is called lymphocytes. The other kind of white blood cell is called the phagocyte, which kills pathogens by engulfing them (basically, "eating" the microbe).
What is the difference between a lymphocyte and a macrophage?
B lymphocytes secrete free antibodies, which provide immunity to virusesT lymphocytes are coated with bound antibodies, they provide immunity to foreign cellsmacrophages generally eat debris, but when activated by lymphocytes they concentrate on eating whatever matches the type of antibody the lymphocyte makes
What type of white blood cells make antibodies?
There are two types of white blood cell. The kind which secrete antibodies to kill microbes are called lymphocytes. The other type, which engulf microorganisms, are called phagocytes.*Specifically, the type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that produces antibodies would be plasma cells. After a B cell (a type of lymphocyte) undergoes clonal selection, the result is the formation of a clone of B cells that consists of plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells secrete antibodies and memory B cells do not secrete antibodies.
The cells known as lymphocytes?
secrete antibodies into blood and lymph fluids
What is the function of the plasma cell?
produce antibodies Plasma cells are antibody-manufacturing cells derived from B lymphocytes, following their activation by an antigen. They are responsible for humoral immunity - immunity conferred by antibodies present in the blood plasma. Plasma cells are capable of synthesising and secreting antibodies at a rate of 2000 molecules per second. Each cell will only synthesise and secrete one type of antibody. This antibody will bind specifically to the antigen that initially activated the precursor B lymphocyte. Plasma cells will synthesise and secrete antibody molecules over their short life span of 4 to 5 days. The secreted antibodies circulate in the blood or lymph and bind to their complementary antigen, thus marking them for destruction by other mechanisms.
Which cells produce and secrete antibodies that set up bacterial invaders for subsequent destruction by macrophages?
B Cells
What blood cell can become an antibody-secreting cell is?
The cell which can secret antibody are called B-Lymphocytes. Those cells are generally called as B-Cells.
