Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutrophils do play a role in the innate immune response (specifically, in phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens) but they are not typically involved in the primary humoral response. The primary humoral response involves activation, differentiation, and proliferation of B cells and subsequent production and secretion of antibodies by plasma cells.
