immunogen

Examples of immunogen in the following topics:

• Immunoassays for Disease

  • All work cooperatively to eliminate immunogenic foreign substances from the body.

• Immunization, Antiseptics, and Antibiotics

  • Immunization is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an agent (known as the immunogen) .
  • Therefore, by exposing a person to an immunogen in a controlled way, the body can learn to protect itself: this is called active immunization.

• Cancer Immunology

  • It has also been suggested that immunosurveillance primarily functions as a component of a more general process of cancer immunoediting, a process by which a person is protected from cancer growth and the development of tumour immunogenicity by their immune system.

• Pathogenic Escherichia coli

  • The O antigen is a polymer of immunogenic repeating oligosaccharides which is used for serotyping E.coli.

• Clonal Selection of Antibody-Producing Cells

  • Such clonality has important consequences, as immunogenic memory relies on it .

• Antigens and Antigen Receptors

  • Cells present their immunogenic-antigens to the immune system via a histocompatibility molecule.

• Maturation of B Cells

  • Such clonality has important consequences because immunogenic memory relies on it.

• Immunological Memory

  • Many parasitic pathogens, such as the plasmodium protist that causes malaria, haven't successfully been vaccinated against because it is challenging to develop a vaccine that is strong enough to stimulate an immune response (sufficient immunogenicity) without causing a live infection.

• Botulism

  • This is a less immunogenic antitoxin that is effective against all known strains of botulism where not contraindicated.

• Genetically Engineered Vaccines

  • In addition to being less reactogenic, recombinant subunit vaccines have a tendency to be less immunogenic than their conventional counterparts.
