Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of antibodies in the immune system. Antibodies are proteins that specifically recognize and bind to antigens, which are foreign substances in the body.

Identify the type of immunity involved. Antibody-mediated immunity, also known as humoral immunity, is primarily concerned with the production of antibodies.

Recognize the cells responsible for producing antibodies. B lymphocytes, also known as B cells, are the primary cells involved in the production of antibodies.

Differentiate between the types of lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are involved in cell-mediated immunity, whereas B lymphocytes are involved in humoral immunity.

Consider the other cell types listed. Macrophages and neutrophils are part of the innate immune system and do not produce antibodies. They play roles in phagocytosis and inflammation, respectively.
