WHAT DOES IMMUNOGENIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Immunogenicity

Immunogenicity is the ability of a particular substance, such as an antigen or epitope, to provoke an immune response in the body of a human or animal. In other words, immunogenicity is the ability to induce a humoral and/or cell mediated immune response. The ability of an antigen to elicit immune responses is called immunogenicity, which can be humoral and/or cell-mediated immune responses. Differentiation has to be made between wanted and unwanted immunogenicity. ▪ Wanted immunogenicity is typically related with vaccines, where the injection of an antigen has to lead to an immune response against the pathogen. ▪ Unwanted immunogenicity is when the organism mounts an immune response against an antigen which is undesired. Unwanted immunogenicity is strongly linked with therapeutic proteins. A fraction of the patient treated with those drugs mount anti-drug-antibodies, which leads to inactivation of the drug and in rare cases to adverse effects.
