Antigen (Ag): • Is a foreign substances usually protein and
sometimes polysaccharide, • Generates a specific immune response and
induces the formation of a specific antibody or T cells response or both.
• reacts with the products of a specific immune response

Epitope (antigenic determinant) Active regions of an immunogen (or antigen) that
binds to antigen-specific receptors on lymphocytes
or to secreted antibodies.
Antigenicity التوليد املضاد: The ability of antigen to react specifically with a free
Ab or membrane coupled antibody (BCR).
![Page 6: Antigens Types and factors affecting the immunogenicity · Types of Antigens • Examples – Pneumococcal polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide – Flagella 1.T-independent antigen](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5f1a8b2ee809522bd96a6975/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Immunogen: Molecule that stimulate a specific immune response.
Immunogenicity التوليد املناعي: The ability to induce a humoral or cell mediated
immune response. Antibody (Ab): A specific protein that is produced in response to an immunogen and reacts with an antigen

Hapten • A substance that is non-immunogenic • But it can react with the products of a specific
immune response with no Antibodies formation.
• small molecules with a low Molecular Weight (Less than 10,000) that could never induce an immune response when administered by themselves unless it coupled to a carrier molecule.
• Has the property of antigenicity but not immunogenicity.

Immunogens • Proteins • Polysaccharides • Nucleic Acids • Lipids

Types of Antigens
• Examples – Pneumococcal
polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide
– Flagella
1. T-independent antigen
T-independent antigens are antigens which can directly stimulate the B cells to produce antibody without the requirement for T cell help In general, polysaccharides are T-independent antigens.
![Page 14: Antigens Types and factors affecting the immunogenicity · Types of Antigens • Examples – Pneumococcal polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide – Flagella 1.T-independent antigen](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5f1a8b2ee809522bd96a6975/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Examples – Microbial
proteins
2- T-dependent antigen: T-dependent antigens are those that do not directly stimulate the production of antibody without the help of T cells. Proteins are T-dependent antigens.
![Page 15: Antigens Types and factors affecting the immunogenicity · Types of Antigens • Examples – Pneumococcal polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide – Flagella 1.T-independent antigen](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5f1a8b2ee809522bd96a6975/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Superantigens • Superantigens (SAg) are microbial proteins that can
bind to T cells and then activate T cell. • But the activation of T cells is non-specific polyclonal. • Bind Vβ of TCR to α of MHC II. 2 Types: 1. Endogenous SAg e.g. virally encoded membrane
proteins infected mammalian cells (integrated viruses – retroviruses, EBV) (figure b)
2. Exogenous SAg - exotoxins produced by bacteria such as Staphylococcus eneterotoxin (figure a)

Superantigens types
![Page 17: Antigens Types and factors affecting the immunogenicity · Types of Antigens • Examples – Pneumococcal polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide – Flagella 1.T-independent antigen](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062317/5f1a8b2ee809522bd96a6975/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Bind simultaneously to MHC class II and TCR
• SAg binds outside the TCR antigen-binding region – activation is polyclonal
• Activate 3-20% of T cells.
• Release of massive cytokines
Superantigen binding to T cells

There are different antigens on the basis of immune response: 1. Complete antigen (immunogenic) 2. Incomplete antigen such as hapten
(non-immunogenic)
3. T-Independent and T dependent antigen
