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.

Antigen and antibody?

An antigen is a foreign particle that enters the body. This could be a disease causing agent such as part of a bacterium or virus or could be a particle such as pollen or dust. An antibody is a protein made by the body's immune system. Antibodies react with specific antigens to enable the antigens to be removed from the body.


Describe what can happen to an antigen when it enter the body?

Antibodies do not "get in to your body" from an external source. When your body's immune system (your bodies way of defending and protecting itself against pathogens and disease) thinks that there is something in your body that might hurt you (a virus or bacteria) it forms antibodies to attack the "foreign" object. So, Antibodies are actually formed by your own body and not introduced from outside of it. Hope that helps!
