How does the humoral immune system works when our body is infected?
The immunity in which antibodies are developed for attacking the microbes is called the Humoral immune response. The receptors are present on the surface of each B-cell that recognize a specific antigen. When the B-cell is exposed to antigens then it will result in triggering of B-cells to proliferate further thus leading to the formation of a large clone cell which continuous stimulation and then result in the increase in the number of B-lymphocytes which then differentiates into plasma cells that are smaller antibody-producing cells. Antibodies that are produced by each clone of plasma cells will react with their antigenic determinant and leads to the stimulation of the initial proliferation. The phagocytic cells digest the antigen-antibody complex which is formed when the antibody antibody-producing cells. Antibodies that are produced by each clone of plasma cells will react with their antigenic determinant and leads to the stimulation of the initial proliferation. The phagocytic cells digest the antigen-antibody complex which is formed when the antibody binds to the antigen. When plasma cells are exposed to the same antigen later then some of these plasma cells develop into memory cells.
