B, D, A, C, E
Antigen binds to a B lymphocyte, and antibodies are produced for that specific antigen. Antibo-dies seek out and bind with the specific antigen when it is reintroduced to the organism and bind with them. These circulating antigen–antibody complexes are targeted and destroyed by phago-cytes. Antibodies are continually replenished in most cases.
