The third line of defense, the immune system, responds in a specific way to particular toxins, microorganisms, aberrant body cells, and other substances marked by foreign molecules. Specific defensive proteins called antibodies are produced by lymphocytes. 2) Non-specific defense.Microbes that penetrate the first line of defense face the second line of defense, which depends mainly on phagocytosis, the ingestion of invading organisms by certain types of white cells.pecific defensive proteins called antibodies are produced by lymphocytes. 2) Non-specific defense.

Antibodies are proteins produced by specialized immune cells called B lymphocytes. Each B cell produces 1 type of antibody. B cells are so numerous and diverse, that the body can produce a virtually limitless array of antibodies to bind almost anything that we encounter.Antibodies bind to substances and neutralize them, and also help our white blood cells ingest and kill potentially harmful microbes. cells are so numerous and diverse, that the body can produce a virtually limitless array of antibodies to bind almost anything that we encounter.
