Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Humoral immunity, also known as antibody-mediated immunity, involves the production of antibodies by B cells. These antibodies target and help in the destruction of antigens (A), such as pathogens and foreign molecules, circulating in the body (D). This type of immunity is crucial for protecting the body against bacteria (E) and other disease-causing organisms present in bodily fluids. T cells, mentioned in option B, are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity, not humoral immunity. Option C describes a general characteristic of immunity but does not specifically pertain to humoral immunity's functions.
