IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Antigens are any substances that the immune system can recognize and that can thus stimulate an immune response. If antigens are perceived as dangerous (for example, if they can cause disease), they can stimulate an immune response in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anything that triggers an immune response is called an antigen. An antigen can be a microbe such as a virus, bacteria, toxins, chemicals or other substances that come from outside the body. If the body comes into contact with an antigen for the first time, it will store information about the germ and how to fight it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Any substance capable of eliciting an adaptive immune response is referred to as an antigen (antibody generator).

Detailed explanation-4: -In an immune response, the immune system recognizes the antigens (usually proteins) on the surface of substances or microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses, and attacks and destroys, or tries to destroy, them. Cancer cells also have antigens on their surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it.
