Question

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?

Explanation / Answer

I believe the correct answer to be B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum as antibody is naturally a protein complex and all proteins go through the RER.
