Diagram the roles that T cells and B cells play in immunity.

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which cells are responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies during a humoral immune response. Is it answer choice. A cytotoxic T cells? Answer choice B memory B cells, answer choice C helper T cells or answer choice D plasma cells. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer. Choices is the cell type that is responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies during a humoral immune response. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about each of the following cell types to determine which cells are responsible for the production and secretion of anti bodies during a humoral immune response. And we can recall that the effector cells of the humoral immune response are the plasma cells, which we note that those plasma cells are derived from activated B cells. Antti plasma cells are responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies during that humoral immune response, which would make answer choice d the correct answer as those plasma cells which are the effector cells of the humoral immune response are responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
