imunogenicitatea
Imunogenicitatea, also known as immunogenicity, refers to the ability of a substance to provoke an immune response in the body. This property is critically important in contexts such as vaccine development, therapeutic protein use, and transplant compatibility. An immunogenic substance can stimulate the production of antibodies, activate immune cells, or both, leading to an adaptive immune response aimed at neutralizing or eliminating the foreign agent.
The degree of immunogenicity depends on several factors, including the nature of the substance, its dose, route
While high immunogenicity is desirable in vaccines, where a strong immune response is needed to confer protection,
Assessment of immunogenicity involves measuring antibodies or cellular responses to the substance. This evaluation is critical
