The ability of your body's immune system to distinguish between your cells and foreign cells depends on your cells what?
At a basic level here's how it works: The surfaces of our cells have protein "markers" embedded in them, each person's markers are unique. If the immune system doesn't recognize the markers on a cell, it will attack it as being foreign. This usually works pretty well asa defense systems go, however, there are times (autoimmune diseases like Grave's disease, MS and rheumitoid Arthritis) when the system attacks the body's own cells anyway or other diseases (HIV, etc) where the immune system doesn't recognize foreign cells, so doesn't attack.

The unique patterns of sugars on these molecules are recognized by the immune system, allowing for proper immune responses.

Molecules on the outer surface of a cell that identify it as "self" or "foreign" are called antigens.

The recognition of self-antigens helps the immune system to tolerate the body's own cells while identifying and attacking foreign invaders.
