Molecule capable of inducing an immune response (to produce an antibody) in the host organism.
1
However, the specific antigens targeted by this immune response remain largely undefined.
2
Conclusions: In silico analysis clearly helped the search for protective vaccine antigens.
3
HLA class II antigens play an important role in the immunological response.
4
Class II major histocompatibility complex antigens were also induced by human interferon-gamma.
5
Vaccines work using antigens -proteins that activate the body's immune system.
6
In vaccine development, the identification of efficacious antigens forms the major bottleneck.
7
DC were able to present particulate leprae antigens to autologous T cells.
8
However, the antigens that induce macrophage activation have not been well defined.
9
Yet, it has proved challenging to identify relevant peptide-based T cell antigens.
10
There was no increase of autoantibodies directed against central nervous system antigens.
11
Interventions: Delayed type hypersensitivity skin testing with a panel of recall antigens.
12
Our results support the existence of mimicry between HLA-B27 antigens and bacteria.
13
Issues pertaining to food antigens or environmentally encountered antigens are less recognized.
14
Tolerance development to oral antigens is restricted to the mucosal immune system.
15
Sixty four of the most common HLA-A and -B antigens were selected.
16
The prevalence and concentration of antibodies to all antigens increased with age.
