Medical Immunology—Chapter 2 Antigens

Antigens have many properties, such as immunogenicity and reactogenicity, foreign body properties, and specificity, and their properties have deep molecular basis. The main function of an antigen is to cause an immune response. The physical and chemical properties of the antigen itself, individual host factors, and the way the antigen enters the body are all closely related to this. Antigens are classified according to their reaction process, relationship with the body, production method, etc.; various antigens have different clinical medical significance. Non-specific immune stimulants, as their name suggests, are "non-specific" and are mainly divided into three categories: superantigen SAg, immune adjuvants, and mitogens.
