I don't know exactly how detailed you want me to go with this, but a simple answer is that it produces antibodies against those antigens. I guess an easy way to put it is that our white blood cells have the ability to fight off foreign materials (antigens), which is what our fighter T cells do. After we are exposed to those antigens, our body also makes "memory" cells (B cells), so that if we are exposed to the same antigen later in life, our body will "remember" how it fought them off the first time and respond quickly to remove them.

What protects the body from free antigens?
The immune system protects the body from free antigens. It does so through the production of antibodies that recognize and neutralize antigens, as well as through the activation of immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, that can directly destroy cells infected with antigens. Additionally, the immune system has memory cells that can recognize and respond more quickly if the same antigen is encountered again in the future.

What is the ability of the body to protect itself from its environment?
The ability of the body to protects itself from its environment is called homeostasis.
All immunogens are antigens but all antigens are not immunogens-explain?
Let's start with the first phrase: "All immunogens are antigens" Yes, that's true. Immunogens are antigens that CAN ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE and percieved as foreign by the body. Remember, anything that is percieved by the body as foreign is an antigen. Period. Now the second phrase: "All antigens are not immunogens" This is also true. There are antigens, percieved by the body as foreign that CANNOT ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE. Example of this is Hapten Molecule. It is an antigen that cannot elicit response by itself, unless paired with a larger protein. In summary: Immunogens - form of antigens that can elicit response. Antigens - anything percieved by the body as foreign that can either elicit or not (Hapten molecule) an Immune response.
What is the job of white blood cell?
To produce antibodies, engulf antigens and produce antitoxin. They do this to protect the body of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
