Alien body substances, called antigens, are found inside, to provoke reaction of immune system that is beginning to produce antibodies to neutralize the antigen. This reaction is absolutely necessary, when the organism, for example, gets the virus. When allergy is the immune system begins to seriously respond to innocuous to the average person substances known as allergens.
