The classic concept of immune response is in response to invasion by the foreign substance, or antigen, the body priduces specific antibodies that bind to it, thus body priduces specific antibodies that bind to it, thus neutralizing the invader so that it does not harm the invaded organism. Investigators are now learning , however, that this is far from the entire story, that the mechanism of immunity is much more complex than had been supposed.
