in order for antigens to incite the immune response the y must be ?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
The antigens cause an immune response leading to production of antibodies thereby causing the host to be resistant to subsequent infection
yes..
Antigens
An immune response is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body ("self") from those that are not ("nonself," or foreign). Such molecules that can elicit an immune response are called antigens.
Introduction of altered antigens involves exposing the immune system to modified versions of antigens to trigger an immune response without causing disease. This approach can be used in vaccine development to stimulate immune memory and protection against specific pathogens or diseases. Altered antigens can include weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens, as well as genetically engineered antigens.
Let's start with the first phrase: "All immunogens are antigens" Yes, that's true. Immunogens are antigens that CAN ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE and percieved as foreign by the body. Remember, anything that is percieved by the body as foreign is an antigen. Period. Now the second phrase: "All antigens are not immunogens" This is also true. There are antigens, percieved by the body as foreign that CANNOT ELICIT IMMUNE RESPONSE. Example of this is Hapten Molecule. It is an antigen that cannot elicit response by itself, unless paired with a larger protein. In summary: Immunogens - form of antigens that can elicit response. Antigens - anything percieved by the body as foreign that can either elicit or not (Hapten molecule) an Immune response.
Foreign molecules in the body are often referred to as antigens. These antigens can trigger an immune response from the body's immune system to defend against potential threats.
Yes, a virus contains antigens that can trigger an immune response in the body. Antigens are molecules on the surface of pathogens (such as viruses) that are recognized by the immune system.
