The primary and secondary immune responses are carried out with the help of two special types of lymphocytes present in our blood, i.e., B-lymphocytes and T Lymphocytes.The B-lymphocytes produce an army of proteins in response to pathogens into our blood to fight with them.

Each antibody molecule has four peptide chains, two small called light chains and two longer called heavy chains. Hence, an ant
