Research Notes on Antigens


Antigens are substances that trigger the body to produce antibodies, resulting in an immune response.1 Antigens enter the body through an infection. However, the immune system also treats the body's own proteins that are behaving in an unusual way, as antigens.2

Fast Facts:

  • They are usually proteins or polysaccharides.1
  • Antigens include toxins, parts of bacteria, foreign blood cells, and the cells of transplanted organs.3
  • Allergens are antigens that induce allergic states in humans or animals.3
