Antigénre

Antigénre is the allative form of the Hungarian noun antigén, meaning antigen. In Hungarian grammar, the suffix -re marks direction toward something, so antigénre is used in phrases that express “to/onto the antigen.” Examples include antigénre reagálni (to react to the antigen) and antigénre adott válasz (a response directed at the antigen).

The base term antigén refers to a substance, or a part of one, that can elicit an immune response. In immunology, antigens are recognized by the immune system and can be proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, or other molecules. The concept is central to how vaccines, antibodies, and T and B cell responses are described.

Linguistically, antigén is the Hungarian designation for the immunological concept, derived from the Latin antigenum via the French antigène and the same root used in many languages. The form antigénre demonstrates how Hungarian inflects nouns to indicate grammatical relations such as direction, target, or reference.

In summary, antigénre is a language-specific inflected form used to indicate toward the antigen in Hungarian phrases, while the underlying concept of antigen remains a fundamental idea in immunology and biology. See also antigén, antigen, Hungarian grammar, and immunology basics.
