Immune response. A response from the body to an antigen that occurs when the antigen is identified as foreign and that induces the production of antibodies and lymphocytes capable of destroying the antigen or making it harmless.
Lymphocytes and the Immune Response. The immune response is a highly selective reaction to potentially harmful foreign macromolecular substances termed antigens. The aim of the response is the recognition and removal of such antigens from the body. There are principally two types of lymphocytes involved in the immune response: T-lymphocytes, which differentiate in the thymus, and B-lymphocytes, which differentiate in the bone marrow.
