looks like a battle where army fights with the enemies. The antigens recognized
by the lymphocytes which are a type of white blood cells. It produce
antibodies that are specially related
with the antigens. Every antibody has unique shape of binding site that connect
with the antigen within the specific shape. Antigen destroyed by the antibodies
that are engulfed and macrophages digest them. Antitoxin also provided by the
white blood cells that remove the toxin from the body that left some bacteria
with in the body. When the microbes going to destroy then the immune system
stop working.
