What is the relationship between antigens and antibodies?
The presence of antibodies triggers the production of antigens.
Antibodies can be foreign cells, proteins, or other large molecules. Antigens are large proteins made by B cells.
Antigens function to destroy or neutralize antibodies.
The presence of an antigen triggers the production of antibodies.
The Correct Answer is D
A. The presence of antibodies triggers the production of antigens: antibodies are produced in response to antigens, not the other way around.
B. Antibodies can be foreign cells, proteins, or other large molecules. Antigens are large proteins made by B cells: this reverses definitions: antigens are foreign molecules/cells that stimulate immune response; antibodies are proteins produced (by B cells) that bind antigens.
C. Antigens function to destroy or neutralize antibodies: antigens elicit antibody production; they do not act to destroy antibodies.
D. The presence of an antigen triggers the production of antibodies: antigens (foreign proteins, polysaccharides, cells) stimulate B cells to differentiate into plasma cells that produce specific antibodies.
