How does the human immune system initially respond to a pathogen?
Antibiotics are released by B cells to destroy the pathogen.
B cells release vaccines to destroy the incoming pathogen.
Lymphocytes recognize pathogens as antigens in the body.
T cells build immunity to the pathogen by releasing antibodies.
Answer:The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies. Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen.
