antibodies are secreted from which one of the following cell types?
133899
Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes (or B cells). When an antigen binds to the B-cell surface, it stimulates the B cell to divide and mature into a group of identical cells called a clone.

B cells have two main types of immune responses. In a T-Independent immune response B cells can respond directly to the antigen. In a T-dependent immune response the B cells need assistance from T cells in order to respond. ... They secrete antibody as an early attempt to neutralize the foreign antigen.

B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell of the lymphocyte subtype. They function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. ... BCRs allow the B cell to bind to a specific antigen, against which it will initiate an antibody response.

Antibodies are the functional basis of humoral immunity. Antibodies occur in the blood, in gastric and mucus secretions, and in breast milk. Antibodies in these bodily fluids can bind pathogens and mark them for destruction by phagocytes before they can infect cells.

The silenced cell army contains millions of immune cells known as B cells -- which produce antibodies to fight diseases. Unlike other B cells, though, the cells of this army pose a danger to the body. This is because they can make 'bad' antibodies, which can attack 'self' and cause autoimmune disease.

Hybridoma cells manufacture the specific monoclonal antibody that was originally produced by the B-Lymphocyte cell. The original B-Lymphocyte cell will produce the Monoclonal antibody depending on the kind of antigen that was injected into the mouse just prior to the harvesting of the B-Lymphocyte cells.

B cells are lymphocytes that play a large role in the humoral immune response (as opposed to the cell-mediated immune response). ... There are two types of B cells: Plasma B cells secrete antibodies which effect the destruction of antigens by binding to them and making them easier targets for phagocytes.

In humoral immunity responses, B Cells produce antibodies after being activated by free antigens present in body fluids. In cell-mediated immunity responses, T cells attack infected body cells that display the antigens of pathogens on their surface.

Immunoglobulins are basically proteins that function as antibodies. The terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably. Immunoglobulins are found in blood and other tissues and fluids. They are made by the plasma cells that are derived from the B cells of the immune system.
548244
Monoclonal antibody is derived from a single plasma cell, and is thus specific for one epitope (identical antibody.) How are monoclonal antibodies produced? Using B cells from animals that have been immunized with the antigen against which one wants to make antibodies.

Figure: B memory cells: B lymphocytes are the cells of the immune system that make antibodies to invading pathogens like viruses. They form memory cells that remember the same pathogen for faster antibody production in future infections.

Immunoglobulin. variable antigen specific glycoproteins made by B cells , when secreted they are called antibodies ..

Antibodies are host proteins that are produced by the immune system in response to foreign molecules that enter the body. These foreign molecules are called antigens, and their molecular recognition by the immune system results in selective production of antibodies that are able to bind the specific antigen.
254066
Monoclonal antibodies are produced in the laboratory from one B cell that has been cloned; thus, the entire antibody is of the same class, specificity, and function. Pure monoclonal antibodies are not produced by T lymphocytes, bone marrow, or fetuses.
1050959
Antibody, also called immunoglobulin, a protective protein produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign substance, called an antigen. Antibodies recognize and latch onto antigens in order to remove them from the body.
334494
Plasma cell, short-lived antibody-producing cell derived from a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) called a B cell. B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell.

Antibodies. Antibodies are proteins made by the body's natural defence system (immune system) to fight foreign substances, such as bacteria. Antibodies attach themselves to the foreign substance, allowing other immune system cells to attack and destroy the substance.
