Immunoglobulins are glycoproteins in the immunoglobulin superfamily that function as antibodies. The terms antibody and immunoglobulin are often used interchangeably. They are found in the blood and tissue fluids, as well as many secretions. In structure, they are globulins (in the γ-region of protein electrophoresis). They are synthesized and secreted by plasma cells that are derived from the B cells of the immune system. B cells are activated upon binding to their specific antigen and differentiate into plasma cells. In some cases, the interaction of the B cell with a T helper cell is also necessary.

What I comprehend is that our bodies do create antibodies for the straight forward chilly. each and each time we seize a cold our bodies create and antibody for it and we are able to by no ability back seize that tension of chilly virus. the difficulty is there are over 2 hundred diverse lines of chilly viruses. that's merely one clarification why that's fairly puzzling to create a vaccine for a cold virus.

When B cells activated by antigen, B cells will proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells and memory cells. Plasma cells will counteract the recent antigen by producing antibody. Memory cells continue to exist in our body. When the same type of antigen enter our body in the future, these memory cells will be activated, produce antibody and results in immediate response.

white blood cells
blood is made up of four things: red cells (haemoglobin), white cells, plasma (straw coloured fluid) and platelets (what 'scabs' are made from). white cells produce the relevant antibodies against previously caught infections and viruses, because to create an internal vaccine, some of the live virus/infection bacteria is required.

Antibodies circulate in your blood, but I think the central memory and factory is in the bone marrow in your long bones, especially your thighs. I might be wrong its been a long time since I did Biology but isn't that the reason why people need marrow transplants?

in the blood...yr blood is made up of red and white blood cells. the white cells r responsible for fighting infections and diseases. all of our blood is created in the femurs (thigh bones). I have looked into this recently, because i have more of a red cell count then is considered normal, so i hope im accurate enough for u. take care

Made fresh with the newly needed antigens.

isn't it the white blood cells? I'm almost 100% positive.

They are in the blood, I think. They multiply when needed.
