Substances which are capable, under appropriate conditions, of inducing a specific immune response and of reacting with the products of that response, that is, with specific antibodies or specifically sensitised T-lymphocytes, or both. Antigens may be soluble substances, such as toxins and foreign proteins, or particulates, such as bacteria and tis...

Substances that cause the immune system to make a specific immune response. An example would be a protein only found on tumor cells. Another example would be a murine antibody, which is derived solely from mouse proteins and therefore is viewed as foreign by the host (human) body.

Substances (especially proteins) that are introduced or gain entrance into the blood and that stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies (or, in insects, other protective, lytic, or cidal substances), which react with and render the antigen ineffective.
