3 important questions on Innate Adaptive Immunity - Antigennicity
What is antigenicity correlated with?
- Size of molecule
- Degree of foreignness: xenoantigen (diff species) > alloantigen (same species diff individual) > autoantigen (self)
- Chemical complexity
- stability
- shape
- degradability
How do antibodies and T cells detect antigens?
T cells: recognize only protein derived epitopes (antigens that have been processed and presented to them)
How do penicillin allergies work?
