PCR techniques can be used to detect viral diseases very soon after infection since miniscule amounts of viral derived RNA/DNA can be amplified for detection. For example, it is often used to detect infection of exposed health care workers to viruses such as hepatitis and HIV soon after the exposure event. The standard HIV test is for antibodies against HIV in circulating in blood which requires an acquired immune response that can take weeks to months.
In what cellular organelle would the protein antibodies against HIV be produced?
A. Lysosomes.
B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
C. Mitochondria.
D. Golgi apparatus.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

Antibodies are proteins, and as well as most other proteins are produced by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It is note worthy that the immune system cells are responsible for the production of this antibodies, not all cells in our body. The immune system is comprised by two main cell types: B cells and T cells, and B cells are majorly responsible for the production of antibodies.
