Antigenic Variation

Antigenic variation is an important process in certain pathogens that enables them to escape their host's immune responses. Through this process, pathogens can change the surface molecules of their cells, called antigens, which allow them to effectively evade the host’s immune system. This allows the pathogen to survive and spread for longer periods of time, which can result in more serious or chronic infections. Understanding antigenic variation is critical to developing successful treatments and prevention strategies for infectious diseases. Additionally, it can also provide insights into the evolution of pathogens and the immune system.
