Specificity refers to the ability of the immune system to recognize and respond to particular antigens. The T and B cells have cell surface receptors that are specific for one particular antigen, allowing the immune system to selectively target and eliminate pathogens or foreign substances that display that antigen on their surface. This specificity helps to ensure that the immune system targets only harmful antigens, while leaving healthy cells and tissues unaffected.
