What type of cells involved in the adaptive immunity response mature in the bone marrow and produce immunoglobins?

Select one:

a. B cells

b. T cells

c. Antigen cells

d. phagocytes

e. Antibody cells

A. B cells

Explanation:

B cells are involved in the specific immune response that exhibits specificity, memory and self-non-self distinction. This immune response is also called as adaptive immunity. B cells are produced in the bone marrow. An encounter of B cells with antigen activates them for multiplication.

The activated B cells produce plasma cells which in turn produce specific antibodies that bind to the specific antigens and start the adaptive immune response.
