lantigenicità

Lantigenicità is a term used in immunology to describe the ability of an antigen to induce an immune response. Antigens are substances that can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies or activate immune cells. The lantigenicità of an antigen is determined by its structure and ability to bind to specific receptors on immune cells, such as T cells and B cells. Antigens that are highly lantigenic are effective at eliciting a strong immune response, while those that are poorly lantigenic may be less effective. The lantigenicità of an antigen can be influenced by various factors, including its size, shape, and chemical composition. Understanding the lantigenicità of different antigens is crucial for the development of vaccines, diagnostic tests, and other immunotherapies.
