Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of humoral immunity: It is a component of the adaptive immune system that involves the production of antibodies by B cells.

Recognize the role of antibodies: Antibodies are proteins that specifically bind to antigens, neutralizing them or marking them for destruction by other immune cells.

Identify the key players in humoral immunity: B lymphocytes (B cells) are responsible for producing antibodies, which are the main effector molecules in humoral immunity.

Differentiate between humoral and cell-mediated immunity: While humoral immunity involves antibodies, cell-mediated immunity involves T lymphocytes that directly attack infected cells.

Clarify the incorrect options: T lymphocytes, the thymus, the skin, and C lymphocytes are not directly involved in the production of antibodies, which are central to humoral immunity.
