This substance has a general name called an antigen.
Some more context would be helpful. This question sounds like it may be asking about antigen exposure in the field of allergic disease, but it's hard to be sure. Hypersensitivity reactions (the immune system basis for allergies) are based on the principle that allergy follows initial sensitization to an antigen.
It's general biochemical name is an Antigen - anti = against and gen = genesis.
An allergy is a hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (allergen). If a person has a hypersensitivity to an antigen they will have a patholigic (disease) response when exposed to that antigen. When the hypersensitive individual is initially exposed to the antigen, they will produce allergen specific antibodies, primarily immunoglobulin E (IgE), that will during subsequent exposures bond with membrane proteins on the mast cell membrane. This bonding allows degranulation (the release of stored chemicals) of the mast cell. Mast cells manufacture and store chemicals, including histamine, that are responsible for the affects of inflamation.
The antibody is specific to the antigen (allergen). Different antibodies are produced at different times of exposure (IgM=acute; IgG=longterm) or in different systems of the body (IgA is produced in the gut).
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.

do you mean antigens? An antigen is any (foreign) substance that stimulates an immune reaction.
The process by which an antibody binds to an antigen is called antigen-antibody binding. This occurs when the antibody recognizes and attaches to a specific part of the antigen, forming a complex that helps the immune system identify and neutralize the antigen.
