Explain how the body reacts when there is presence of antigens in the body
Presence of antigens in the body stimulates the lymphocytes to produce corresponding antibodies; the antibodies attack the antigen in the following ways
- Clumps antigen and destroy it/agglutinin
- Causes antigen to disintegrate/lysins.
- Adsorb onto surface of antigens for easier phagocytosis/opsinins
- Neutralizes the toxin/antitoxins
- Precipitates the antigen molecules
