The immune system protects the body from foreign substances called antigens. It distinguishes self antigens, which come from the body's own cells, from nonself or foreign antigens, which come from outside the body. When the immune system encounters a foreign antigen, it mounts an immune response by producing antibodies that attack and eliminate the antigen, protecting the body from infection or disease.
