Solution

Antibody:

  1. Antibodies are produced by the human body in response to antigens.
  2. Plasma cells are responsible for the production of antibodies.
  3. This plasma cell, also known as plasma B cells, is a type of white blood cell that produces huge amounts of antibodies. The plasma cell is born in the bone marrow.
  4. These are then carried by the lymphatic system and blood plasma.
  5. Once released into the bloodstream and lymphatic system, they bind to the target antigen and begin neutralising or destroying it.
