What is the main role of B cells in immune response?

What is the main role of B cells in immune response? Correct Answer Production of antibodies

The main role of B cells in an immune response is production of antibodies. B cell presentation of antigen to T cells is one of the most important aspect of this function. These interactions allow B cells to receive survival signals and direct them appropriately to generate high affinity antibody specific to the antigen that is encountered.

In ensuring sustainable curriculum change and improvement, whose role is crucial in the Indian context? (a) Role of students feedback (b) Role of teachers feedback (c) Role of parents reactions (d) Role of educational authorities (e) Role of public in general Give your answer from the following option:

Reason (R) While every role has some routine elements, challenge can also be incorporated into every role. However, the challenge should not exceed an optimal limit, otherwise it may produce dysfunctional stress, resulting in poor performance or damage to the health of the employee in the long-run.
