Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of B cells in the immune system: B cells are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response by producing antibodies.

Learn about antibody specificity: Each B cell is programmed to produce a specific antibody that binds to a specific antigen, which is a molecule or part of a pathogen that the immune system recognizes as foreign.

Explore the concept of clonal selection: When a B cell encounters its specific antigen, it is activated and undergoes clonal expansion, producing many copies of itself that secrete the same specific antibody.

Consider the diversity of antibodies: The human body can produce a vast array of different antibodies, each specific to a different antigen, due to the unique genetic rearrangement processes in B cells.

Conclude with the understanding that each individual B cell is indeed specific to one type of antibody, which targets one specific antigen, supporting the statement as true.
