Antigens were originally defined as non-self molecules which bound specifically to antibodies. In practice, the term antigen is used to mean any molecule recognized by the immune system. \n\nAntigens which induce adaptive immunity are called immunogens. All immunogens are antigens, and are usually called antigens unless their ability to induce an immune response is being discussed. Some antigens, called haptens, are not immunogenic unless they are covalently linked to immunogenic carriers (usually proteins). Haptens can bind antibodies once the antibodies are produced, but haptens will not induce antibody synthesis on their own. Small non-protein organic molecules, for example the antibiotic penicillin, are haptens.\n\nImmunogenicity is influenced by \n\nthe chemical nature of the antigen. \nthe antigen's size. \nthe antigen's usual presence in the body. \nantigen dose and route and timing of administration. \nwhether the antigen is easily phagocytosed. \nwhether antigen is efficiently presented to T cells on MHC. \nthe maturity of the immune system and specific lymphocytes. \nNote that immunogenicity depends on the immune system as well as on the antigen. \n\nImmunogenicity is generally higher for proteins than for other organic molecules. Protein antigens, which are the predominant sort that activate helper T cells, consequently induce more B cell antibody production, synthesis of IgG or IgA, and generation of memory B and T cells. T-independent antigens, which activate only B cells, induce IgM synthesis but not other adaptive immune responses.\n\nImmunogenicity increases with molecular size and complexity. Haptens are generally non-proteins or they are too small to be immunogenic unless they are covalently attached to a carrier protein molecule. Some carbohydrate antigens can stimulate B cells to secrete IgM in the absence of T cell help but do not elicit IgG or memory cells. Human infants make poor responses to carbohydrate antigens, so early vaccinations with bacterial polysaccharide antigens employ protein carriers. Aggregated proteins are easily phagocytosed and more immunogenic than soluble proteins. Adjuvants, including bacterial products, alum, or oil emulsification of antigen, attract and activate antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells and macrophages) and slow antigen release to prolong exposure and improve immunogenicity.\n\nEach part of the antigen bound by a unique antibody is called an epitope. Most proteins have several epitopes that are recognized by different B cells and induce a polyclonal antibody response. In a polyclonal response, several clones of B cells each make different antibodies, all able to bind to the same antigen but at different epitopes. Epitopes may be shared by closely related antigens (cross-reactivity), so that antibody made to tetanus toxoid binds tetanus toxin. A protein epitope may be a linear sequence of amino acids or it may be assembled by protein folding. Epitopes with definite three-dimensional shapes and charged amino acids are particularly well recognized by antibodies. External membrane and cell wall molecules, often present in many copies on the pathogen, are common B cell antigens. A small peptide of 4-6 amino acids could fit into an antibody binding site, but larger proteins have more extended epitopes across their surfaces.\n\nActive immunity is induced by exposure to antigen. Antigen dose and the route and timing of antigen contact, as well as immunogenicity, influence the magnitude and nature of the immune response. Very high or very low doses of antigen induce tolerance, the inability to respond to that antigen, while intermediate doses induce immunity. We are generally tolerant to cell-bound and soluble antigens present in our own bodies. Oral tolerance to foods is common, although some foods induce allergic reactions. \n\nAntigens encountered in body tissues through subcutaneous or intramuscular injection are carried by lymph and macrophages into the lymph
