WHAT DOES IMMUNOGEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Immunogen

An antigen is any substance that may be specifically bound by components of the immune system. The term antigen arises from its ability to induce generation of antibodies. Despite the fact that all antigens are recognized by specific lymphocytes or by antibodies, not every antigen can evoke an immune response. Those antigens that are capable of inducing an immune response are said to be immunogenic and are called immunogens. An immunogen is any antigen that is capable of inducing humoral and/or cell-mediated immune response rather than immunological tolerance. This ability is called immunogenicity. Sometimes the term immunogen is used interchangeably with the term antigen. But only an immunogen can evoke an immune response. Generally, both are substances that are capable of generating antibodies or immune responses. We can define an immunogen as a complete antigen which is composed of the macromolecular carrier and epitopes that can induce immune response. An explicit example is a hapten. Haptens are low-molecular-weight compounds that may be bound by antibodies, but cannot elicit an immune response.
