Antigens are the substances which induce specific immune reactions in the body.
Antigens include molecules such as proteins, nucleoproteins, polysaccharides, lipoprotein and some glycolipids.
The ability of a molecule to function as an antigen depends on its size, structural complexity, chemical nature, and degree of foreignness to the host.
Types of antigens
Antigens are of two types:
1. Autoantigens or self antigens present on the body’s own cells such as ‘A’ antigen and ‘B’ antigen in RBCs.
2. Foreign antigen s or non-self antigens that enter the body from outside.
Following are non-self antigens:
1. Receptors on the cell membrane of microbial organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
2. Toxins from microbial organisms.
3. Materials from transplanted organs or incompatible blood cells.
4. Allergens or allergic substances like pollen grains.

Structure of antigens and receptors, Genetic control of immune response, Antigens processing by antigen presenting cell, Role of MHC and accessory molecules, Antigen-antibody interactions
Antigens are substances which, when introduced into the body, stimulate the production of antibodies. Anti- Antibody. Gen- Generator.Antigens are generally proteins. But they can be lipids, carbohydrates or nucleic acids. These slides will give you more information regarding its types and determinants for antigenicity.
Immune tolerance, or immunological tolerance, or immunotolerance, is a state of unresponsiveness of the immune system to substances or tissue that have the capacity to elicit an immune response in a given organism. Immune tolerance is important for normal physiology. Central tolerance is the main way the immune system learns to discriminate self from non-self. Peripheral tolerance is key to preventing over-reactivity of the immune system to various environmental entities (allergens, gut microbes, etc.).

-What are the specific linkages among immune surveillance, clonal se.pdffatoryoutlets
-What are the specific linkages among immune surveillance, clonal selection, and lymph nodes?
Solution
Role of immune system is to protect body from invaded pathogen. Immune system indentifies
the invaded foreign particle and pathogens. But this not only the thing the immune system
performs. Immune systems monitoring the internal body cell/host cells which are able to convert
in pathogenic form. After identification of such cells, the immune system eliminates them
rapidly. So such cell gets destroyed before they get matured. Immune system destroys such cells
as fast as they grow.
Second one isclonal selectionin which the immune system defined function of lymphocytes. This
role is assigned as per the type of antigen enter inside the body. Immune system use this term to
define the type of antigen. Against those antigens they will release particular
antibody/macrophages/lymphocyte.
Lymph node is also the part of the immune system. In which it filter the cells which identify the
pathogen and fight against them. Lymph node includes the two types of cell i.e. B cells and T
cells. They produce the antibodies against the antigen. All these three are linked as per immunity
system. These all terms take part in establishing the immune system to protect from invaded
pathogen..

1. Its foreign molecule which induce the immune system in the
body.
It stimulates the lymphocytes to produce the antibody.
T-cell and B-cell are the antigen presenting cells.
2. Its majorly classified into two types
1. Exogenous antigen.
Endogenous antigen.
And endogenous antigen is fatherly classified into 3 types
1. Heterogenic antigen.
2. Allogenic antigen.
3. Autologous antigen.
3. This type of antigen are enter from the outside of the body.
This antigen entering site are macrophages, dentric cells etc.
Example: virus, bacteria and fungi etc.
4. These type of antigen found inside the cytosol of the human
cells.
Example: viral protein, tumer protein etc.
It was in three types.
5. It also known as xenogenic antigen.
It is foreign molecules related with the tissue
transplantation and serology at the time entering
molecule are heterogenic antigen.
6. This type of antigen occurs only in the
individual species.
For example blood group antigen.
7. The antigen originate from the body it self is
autologous antigen.
Example: Thyroglobulin and DNA etc.
