Which induces the production of a specific antibody?

Answer 1

Generally, the first body cell to encounter an antigen is a specific type of white blood cell called a macrophage. The macrophage partially digests the antigen and presents some of the antigens proteins on its surface. This is known as antigen presentation. Once the macrophage has presented the proteins, helper T cells recognize these proteins and search for a B cell that is able to produce the needed antibodies. The T cell chemically communicates with the B cell which, upon activation, undergoes a series of cell divisions. B plasma cells and B memory cells are produced. The B plasma cells produce antibodies needed to fight the antigen while the B memory cells circulate in the bloodstream and are available in case of future infection.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it is White blood cells, but need to be used to the ailment to produce the right antibodies, its like a puzzle .... to cure a sickness it needs the right puzzle piece. But Due to the White Blood cells doing this they are targeted first by viruses and used as a factory to produce more of that virus.
