English - English
A foreign substance that can stimulate an immune response when introduced into the body
Substances that cause an immune response in the body The body "sees" the antigens as harmful or foreign To fight them, the body produces antibodies, which attack and try to eliminate the antigens
Substances, such as proteins, that can trigger an immune response, for example, the production of an antibody The antigens of the ABO blood group system are examples
Any substance capable of stimulating an immune response, usually a protein or large carbohydrate that is foreign to the body
Foreign or "nonself" substances that, when introduced the body, activate the immune system
a foreign invader that stimulates a response from the body's immune system
Foreign substances in the body that are capable of causing disease The presence of antigens in the body triggers an immune response, usually the production of antibodies Antigens may be soluble substances, such as toxins and foreign proteins, or particulate, such as bacteria and tissue cells; however only the portion of the protein of polysaccharide molecule known as the antigenic determinant combines with antibody or a specific receptor on a lymphocyte
substances capable of inducing an immune response
plural of antigen
Molecules carried or produced by microorganisms that initiate antibody production

antigen
An antigen is a substance that helps the production of antibodies. a substance that makes the body produce antibodies (antigène, from anti- + -gène (from -genes )). Foreign substance in the body that induces an immune response. The antigen stimulates lymphocytes to produce antibodies or to attack the antigen directly (see antibody;immunity). Virtually any large foreign molecule can act as an antigen, including those of bacteria, viruses, parasites, foods, venoms, blood components, and cells and tissues of various species, including other humans. Sites on the antigen's surface fit and bind to receptor molecules on the lymphocytes' surface, stimulating the latter to multiply and initiate an immune response that neutralizes or destroys the antigen
antigen
substance that promotes the production of antibodies
antigen
a foreign substance in the body such as protein, bacteria, virus, pollen, and other material Antigens stimulate the body to produce antibodies, which then fight them
antigen
Foreign protein that stimulates an immune response by a specific antibody
antigen
Substances such as toxins, enzymes or foreign molecules that cause an immune response by antibodies; a substance that, when introduced into the body, induces an immune response by a specific antibody
antigen
A protein or other molecule that can elicit an immune response; the antibody protein that is produced binds to the antigen
antigen
Foreign substances (e g bacteria or viruses) in the body that are capable of causing disease The presence of antigens in the body triggers an immune response, usually the production of antibodies
antigen
Any substance that when introduced into the body (such as the protein coat of an invading pathogen) causes the formation of antibodies Ag is also found on tissue and blood cells, and in body fluids Measurement of antigen can help determine whether a particular disease will become active
