An antigen (Ag) is any substance capable of inducing an immune response in an organism. It can be specifically recognized and bound by T/B lymphocyte surface antigen receptors (TCR/BCR), activating T/B cells to proliferate and differentiate, producing immune response products (sensitized lymphocytes or antibodies). Antigens possess two important properties: immunogenicity and immunoreactivity.
Immunogenicity refers to an antigen's ability to induce specific immune responses and produce antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes. Immunoreactivity is the ability to specifically bind with corresponding immune effector substances (antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes) in vitro and in vivo.
Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and immunoreactivity. Examples include most proteins, bacteria, viruses, and bacterial exotoxins. These substances can independently induce immune responses and react with antibodies.
Haptens have immunoreactivity but lack immunogenicity. Small molecules belong to this category and must be conjugated to large molecular carriers to gain immunogenicity and induce antibody production. This conjugation is essential for successful immunization.
Schematic representation of small molecule conjugation to carrier proteins for antibody production
Small molecules are conjugated to carrier proteins (such as BSA, KLH, or OVA) to create immunogenic complexes capable of eliciting strong antibody responses.
Comprehensive evaluation of whether modification is needed for conjugation. Simply provide the CAS number or molecular structure.
