Answer:

Memory B cells remain in the body after the immune response is over

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibodies are substances that are also called immunoglobulins and are secreted by B lymphocytes.

After the penetration of the antigen into the body and its recognition, B lymphocytes are transformed into plasma cells that secrete antibodies against one or more antigens that caused the immune reaction.
