B lymphocyte immune response, also known as humoral immune response, occurs when B lymphocytes recognize antigens and produce plasma clone cells that release antibodies. These antibodies bind to bacteria to aid phagocytosis or neutralize toxins by producing antitoxins.
La respuesta inmune de las células B, también llamada respuesta inmune humoral, ocurre cuando las células B reconocen antígenos y producen células clonales de plasma que liberan anticuerpos. Estos anticuerpos se unen a bacterias para facilitar su fagocitosis o neutralizan toxinas produciendo antitoxinas.

| Back | Humoral immune response B lymphocytes recognize antigen and produce *plasma clone cells* Plasma clone cells release antibodies into blood and *tissue fluid* Antibodies i) attach to 'bacteria' and speed up their phagocytosis ii) combine with and neutralize toxins by producing antitoxins. |
