AB The  immune  system  protects  the  body  against  invasion  by  microorganisms,  removes  tissues  damaged  by  trauma,  and  eliminates  malignant  growths.  Recognizing  these  problems  requires  detecting  foreign  or  unexpected  molecules,  called  antigens,  against  the  background  of  self-molecules.  This  recognition  is  accomplished  by  membrane-bound  antigen  receptors  on  immune  system  cells.  When  antigen  receptors  bind  an  antigen,  these  cells  initiate  effector  responses  to  manage  the  problems.
