How Does the Body Detect and Respond to Toxins?


The immune system detects toxins through specialized cells known as antigen-presenting cells (APCs). These cells capture and process toxins, presenting them to T-cells, which in turn activate B-cells to produce antibodies. These antibodies specifically target and neutralize the toxins. Moreover, cytokines are released to recruit more immune cells to the site of toxin exposure, enhancing the immune response.
