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.

• 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 .

• 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.

• Treatment of Animal Viral Infections

  • Vaccines traditionally consist of an attenuated (weakened or killed) version of the virus, although many vaccines now target specific immunogenic targets unique to a particular pathogen.
