Specific molecules that are recognized by the body as foreign and to which antibodies bind are called antigens. Antigens can be proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, or nucleic acids that stimulate an immune response when they enter the body.
It is inflammation of the perihilum (area around the hilum, a section of the lungs next to the heart, where the blood vessels enter). It may or may not be caused by pneumonia.
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
When pathogens enter the body, they begin to cause disease. Path=disease+ gen=to make (or generate).
There are two main types of antigens on erythrocytes - ABO antigens and Rh antigens. ABO antigens include A and B antigens while Rh antigens include RhD antigen. These antigens play a crucial role in determining blood type compatibility for blood transfusions.

Tissue Antigens was created in 1971.
tuberculosis disease affects the cells of the lungs. They infect them with the tuberculosis bacilli making the host vulnerable to other infections in the body.
All cells produce antigens, or cell surface markers. The only question is whether the antigens are self antigens which means they belong in the body or they're foreign antigens which means they are an invading bacteria or virus (or a cancerous cell).
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
Examples of antigens are poisons, splinters and microorganisms.
