Immunogenicity

A foreign material, such as an antigen, has the capacity to elicit an immunological response in the body of a person or another animal. Immunogenicity, which is defined as a cell or tissue's capacity to elicit an immune response, is typically seen as an unfavourable physiological reaction. The creation of vaccines revolves upon immunogenicity. An organism's immune reaction to a therapeutic antigen is known as unwanted immunogenicity. Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) are produced as a result of this interaction, which may cause undesirable effects in addition to inactivating the therapeutic effects of the therapy. The capacity of a chemical to elicit an immunological response is known as immunogenicity. A material must exhibit three qualities in order to be immunogenic: foreignness, large molecular weight, and chemical complexity.
