What is a specialized lymphocytes that produce and secrete antibodies?
B cells
What is specialized lymphocytes that produce and secrete antibodies?
B cells
What develops from b cells and secrete large bodies of antibodies?
B cells (humoral immunity) differentiate into plasma cells which synthesize antibodies.
Activated lymphocytes that produce antibodies are?
B lymphocytes are the cells that secrete the antibodies in response to infection in body.
Which cells produce and secrete antibodies that set up bacterial invaders for subsequent destruction by macrophages?
B Cells
When b cells secrete antibodies does it fight against endogenous or exogenous pathogens?
exogenous pathogens.
What develop from b cells and secrete large bodies of antibodies coded to destroy specific antigens?
Plasma Cells
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.
What does humoral immunity involves?
The cells which are involved in the production of antibodies are known as B cells. These are effector cells which will secrete anybodies and activate the antigens.
Are antibodies b cells?
It is possible to refer to them as such but not exactly correct. After B cells are helped by TH1 cells, the B cells differentiates in to thousands of plasma cells. The plasma cells secrete antibody's that kill extracellular bacteria.
What produce secrete antibodies?
B lymphocytes.
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.
