Study Notes
Antigen Properties
- Not inducing an immune response is a property NOT associated with antigens.
Individual's Own Constituent Antigen
- An individual's own constituent antigen is recognized as self and does not trigger an immune response.
Antigen Molecular Weight
- The minimum molecular weight for a substance to be considered an antigen is 4,000-5,000 daltons.
Antigen Function
- The main function of antigens in the body is to stimulate an immune response, activating immune cells to eliminate pathogens or foreign substances.
