Solution
B-cells and T-cells are antigen specific.
Explanation:
Both B-cells and T-cells have receptors that recognize and respond to specific antigens. Each lymphocyte is programmed to recognize only one particular antigen. B-cells are involved in humoral immunity by producing antibodies against specific antigens, whereas T-cells are involved in cellular immunity by responding specifically to cells presenting those antigens. This antigen specificity allows the immune system to target pathogens precisely without affecting the body’s own cells.
