Answer:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum

Step-by-step explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that has the main function of producing proteins for the cell.

Antibodies are a type of protein, so they are made by the ER.

Since the immune cell can rapidly produce antibodies, it must have a significant amount of rough ER to make the proteins.
