Immunocompetence
Antigens.
Antigen is a component of the immune system. It can trigger an immune response in the body by interacting with antibodies or immune cells.
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.

No. Immune response is triggered by the antigen.

when a antigen enters the body then the body would send antibodies to get rid of them. The antibody doesn't get rid of the antigen they tag it by binding to it so that a cell..a white blood cell can come and destroy by phagi.
Memory B cells are a characteristic part of the secondary immune response. They are formed during the primary immune response and can quickly recognize and respond to a previously encountered antigen by producing antibodies. This results in a faster and more robust immune response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen.
An Immunogen is foreign particle that triggers the body's immune system where as Antigen is also a foreign particle , due to its low molecular weight it is unable to trigger immune system. Example for antigen is Hapten
The protein that elicits an immune reaction in blood cells is called an antigen. Antigens are typically foreign substances that trigger an immune response when they are detected by the immune system.
