Parasitology
Antibody production is the process by which B cells, a type of white blood cell, create specific proteins known as antibodies in response to pathogens, including parasites. These antibodies are crucial in identifying and neutralizing foreign invaders, helping to protect the body from infections. When a parasite enters the body, it triggers an adaptive immune response that leads to the activation and proliferation of B cells, resulting in the production of antibodies tailored to combat that specific threat.
