The mechanism of humoral immunity is accomplished after interaction of antigen with B-cells, antibody production and antigen-antibody binding. 1. Interaction of antigen with B-cells: The B-cells after production from the stem cells (Fig. 22.8) migrate to lymphoid organs. When antigen interacts and contacts the receptor, the later gets stimulated. The B-cells differentiate into antibody producing […]

In this article we will discuss about the role of antibodies and antigens in humoral immunity. Role of Antibodies: Humoral immunity is antibody-mediated. It protects body from extracellular pathogenic agents by combining with them to form antigen-antibody complex, leading eventually to their elimination. The antibodies play at least in three different ways in this process […]
