to get rid of the "bad" stuff that has entered your body that the nonspecific defense didn't kill basically choosing the specific "things" that are specifically made to kill the specific "bad" stuff
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.

Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
The purpose of the immune complex test is to demonstrate circulating immune complexes in the blood, to estimate the severity of immune complex disease, and to monitor response to therapy.
adaptive immune response
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and is non-specific, meaning it does not target specific pathogens. It includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like macrophages and natural killer cells. The acquired immune response is more specialized and involves the activation of immune cells such as T and B lymphocytes that target specific pathogens based on memory from past exposures.
The specific immune response is a targeted immune response mounted by the body against a particular pathogen. It involves the activation of lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) and the production of specific antibodies to recognize and neutralize the invading pathogen. This response provides long-lasting immunity against future exposures to the same pathogen.
Purpose of histamine is to trigger immune response for foreign bodies
Specific defenses in the immune system include antibodies produced by B cells, which recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. T cells can also destroy infected cells and regulate the immune response. In addition, memory cells are formed after an infection, allowing for a quicker and stronger response upon reinfection.
The immune response is how your body recognizes and defends itself against bacteria, viruses, and substances that appear foreign and harmful.The inflammatory response (inflammation) occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause.
