An Antigen
If it can be harmful, it can be referred to as pathogen.
An antigen is a substance that produces an immune response in the body, typically by binding to specific antibodies or activating immune cells. This immune response is essential for recognizing and eliminating foreign substances such as pathogens.
An antigen is a substance that can trigger an immune response in the body, such as proteins on the surface of bacteria or viruses. A pathogen, on the other hand, is a type of antigen that can cause disease in the host organism by invading and damaging tissues. Not all antigens are pathogens, but all pathogens are antigens.
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
