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.


When invaded by antigens the body forms substances called?

When invaded by antigens, the body forms substances called antibodies. These are proteins produced by B cells in the immune system that specifically target and neutralize the invading antigens, such as bacteria and viruses. Antibodies play a crucial role in identifying and eliminating pathogens, helping to protect the body from infections.
