Antigens

Antigens are substances found on the surface of cells, tissues, and organisms that can trigger an immune response when they enter the body. They can be either naturally occurring molecules or synthetic molecules. Antigens are essential components of an effective immune system, as they trigger the production of antibodies that help to protect cells and tissues from infection and disease. Antigens play an important role in diagnosing and treating many illnesses, as doctors can detect the presence of antigens to diagnose a disease, and antibody-based therapies can help to reduce or eliminate infection caused by antigens.
