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.

Serological testing is based on the fact that antibodies react specifically with an anigen all bacteria have the same antigens or the human body makes antibodies against bacteria?
AnswerThe human body makes specific antibodies to specific antigens (ex. proteins on a bacterial membrane) that it encounters. Bacteria do not all have the same antigens.* antibodies react specifically with an antigen
