They stimulate the production of antibodies

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are produced by B cells (specialized white blood cells). When an antigen comes into contact with a B cell, it causes the B cell to divide and clone. These cloned B cells-or plasma cells-release millions of antibodies into your bloodstream and lymph system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Properties of Antigen-Antibody Reaction Affinity: This refers to how strongly an antigen binds to a certain antigen-binding site on an antibody. Avidity: It is a more general concept than affinity. It represents the Ag-Ab complex’s total strength.
Detailed explanation-3: -Areas of structural stability and chemical complexity within the molecule. Significant stretches lacking extensive repeating units. More items
Detailed explanation-4: -The antigen should be a foreign substance to induce an immune response. The antigens have a molecular mass of 14, 000 to 6, 00, 000 Da. They are mainly proteins and polysaccharides. The more chemically complex they are, the more immunogenic they will be. Antigens are species-specific. More items •20-Sept-2020
