When antibodies are produced by lymphocytes, the body is conducting Innate Immunity. This refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that automatically come into play hours after antigens appear within the body. Physical barriers like skin, blood chemicals, and the immune system attack the foreign bodies that are within the body. It is the basic immunity that the body has against invaders and chemical properties of the antigen trigger the response of this type of immunity.
