Understanding Antigens in the Immune System and Biotechnology
Antigens are typically proteins or polysaccharides that are recognized as foreign or potentially harmful by the immune system. When an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the production of ...
Antigenic variation: How pathogens control changes in their cell surface to evade the immune system

Antigenic variation: Decoding the mechanism controlling antigen activation in trypanosomes
The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...
