The protein, produced by B cells that binds to a specific antigen is

  • A.phagocyte
  • B.leukocyte
  • C.vaccine
  • D.antibody

Answer: D

Correct answer: antibody

An antibody (immunoglobulin) is the Y-shaped protein secreted by plasma cells, with two binding sites shaped to fit one particular antigen. Binding neutralises the antigen, marks it for phagocytosis, or triggers complement. A phagocyte and a leucocyte are cells; a vaccine is a preparation that provokes antibody rather than being one.
