cBy only T cells
dNone of the above
Explanation
When an antigen enters the body through a vaccine, antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes (a special type of white blood cell) to fight infection. When an antigen comes in contact with B cells, it causes the B cell to divide and form clones. These cloned B cells release millions of antibodies into the blood circulation and the lymphatic system. Antibodies strengthen the body’s immune system.
