Activated complement proteins play a part in eliminating microbial invaders from a host. They belong to the group of non-specific immune responses. Which of these is NOT part of that group?
Plasma cells
Antibodies are not part of the non-specific immune responses. Antibodies belong to the group of specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system. Unlike non-specific immune responses, which are immediate and provide a general response to any invading microbe, the adaptive immune system is a slower response and is specific to a particular microbe. When the body encounters a specific microbe, it produces antibodies that are tailored to that specific microbe. This is known as immunity, and it allows the body to easily recognize and fight off the same microbe if it is encountered again in the future.
