| humoral immunity |
The ability of the immune system to produces antibodies against antigens. Humoral immunity is produced by B lymphocytes and their derivative, plasma cells. Plasma cells are the principal antibodies forming cells. The cells are scattered throughout the lymph nodes, other lymphatic tissue, and the bone marrow. When the B-lymphocyte make contact with an antigen they become activated, transform into plasma cells and make antibodies that react only with that antigen. (See Cellular Immunity)

mainly involves b-cells, with the cooperation of helper t-cells. Like macrophages, b-cells take in and process antigens recognized as not belonging in the body. Unlike macrophages, a b-cell can bind only to an antigen that matches it's antibody receptor (idiotype). When helper t-cell signals are present the antigen exposed b-cell will multiply, and soon differentiate into plasma cells that create vast quantities of identical antigen-specific antibodies. ...
