kohdeantigeeni

Kohdeantigeeni, also known as the target antigen, is a specific protein or molecule that is recognized by an antibody or T cell in the immune system. It is the molecule that triggers an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies or the activation of T cells. Kohdeantigeeni can be a pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, or a self-antigen, such as a protein produced by the body's own cells. In the context of vaccines, kohdeantigeeni refers to the specific antigen that is introduced into the body to stimulate an immune response against a particular disease. The immune system recognizes the kohdeantigeeni and produces antibodies or activates T cells to combat the pathogen or self-antigen. The specificity of the immune response is determined by the unique structure of the kohdeantigeeni, which allows the immune system to distinguish between different antigens. Understanding kohdeantigeeni is crucial for the development of vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments for various diseases.
