Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of each immune cell type mentioned in the problem: Neutrophils, B lymphocytes, Macrophages, and T lymphocytes.
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that primarily engulfs and digests pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. They do not produce antibodies.
Macrophages are also involved in phagocytosis and help in presenting antigens to T cells, but they do not produce antibodies.
T lymphocytes (T cells) are involved in cell-mediated immunity and do not produce antibodies. They help in activating other immune cells.
B lymphocytes (B cells) are the immune cells responsible for producing antibodies. When activated, they differentiate into plasma cells that secrete antibodies specific to the antigens they encounter.
