All immunogens are antigens but all antigens are not immunogens-explain?

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.
