The cells responsible for the synthesis and secretion of antibodies are B lymphocytes, or B cells. Upon activation by an antigen and help from T helper cells, B cells differentiate into plasma cells, which are specialized for producing large quantities of antibodies. These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by neutralizing pathogens and marking them for destruction by other immune cells.
