What is the substance that stimulates the body to release antibodies?

An antigen stimulates the production of antibodies. These are either naturally acquired, like from mother to baby (via breast feeding and within the womb). Actively acquired, like you get chicken pox (varicella) and your body fights it off, but because your body has seen the virus it now knows how to fight it. There is also Passively Acquired immunities which are acheived via immunizations where a "dead" or small amount of virus is injected into your body so that your immune system can recognize it and know how to fight it if exposed. An antibody is a "memory cell" it identifies and kills the invader that it has seen before. HIV/ AIDS interrupts that process because it enters the nucleus and "takes over" the cells that identify the invaders... it's kind of a "smart virus".

Technically a "Lypmhocyte" (type of white blood cell) is the one that produces antibodies

What stimulates a person's body to produce chemicals that destroy vireses or bacteria?
The best answer would be Antibodies; however, these do not chemically "attack" viruses or bacteria. More accurately, antibodies recognize various germs and allow the various cell types of your immune system to attack and destroy these germs directly. For more info on how this works see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immune_system
What on a virus stimulates the body's production of antibodies?
An Antigen.
What is the difference between antibodies and antigens?
Antigen is a substance that can induce the generation of antibodies, any substance that can induce immune response. Antibody is a protective protein produced by the body in response to an antigen.
What is a phatogen?
A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody.
What substance is used to fight antibodies in the body?
It would be a bad idea to fight antibodies since that is what your body produces to trigger an immune response to an invading organism.
How often does the immune system produce antibodies?
When a foreign substance enters the body.
Which substance can form in the human body due to invaders entering the blood?
antibodies
What class of drugs stimulates insulin release in the body and is used in Type II Diabetes?
Hypoglycemic agents stimulates insulin release in the body. and they manage patients with type II.

vaccine
Which class of antibodies causes allergies?
A class of antibodies that cause allergies are allergens. Allergens are a foreign substance that causes an allergic reaction in the body.
Response of the body to invasion of foreign substance?
The body usually forms antibodies in response to invasion by a foreign material.
What is it that your body produces in response to vaccines to protect you against viruses?
Antibodies.As antibodies are produced, the body keeps a "record" of them and you will have developed an immunity to that specific virus in people with an otherwise healthy immune system. See more information below on how the immune system works.
