An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.

Pathogen.Pathogens can be things like viruses or bacteria which have things called antigens on them. These antigens are proteins on the pathogen that let the body know that the pathogen is potentially dangerous. This induces the immune response.Hope this helps!
The disorder caused by the body's exaggerated response to foreign chemicals and proteins is called an allergy. Symptoms can range from mild reactions like itching and sneezing to severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
Foreign invaders have proteins called antigens that are recognized by the immune system as non-self. This recognition triggers an immune response to eliminate the invading pathogen.
