Dear antigens are subtances capable of illiciting production of antibodies which are proteins that help the body for defense against specific antigens.

What are different forms of antigens ?

Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses.

Antibodies (immunoglobins) are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens. Each antibody contains a paratope which recognizes a specific epitope on an antigen, acting like a lock and key binding mechanism.  This binding helps to eliminate antigens from the body.

Antigens can be in various forms, i.e on the basis of their origin (like Exogenous antigens, Endogenous and Autoantigens), On the basis of immune response (like Immunogen and imcomplete antigen) etc etc.

Antigens and antibodies are part of the immune system. They form, are developed as the effect of attacking the body by microbes and toxins, which they learn to fight and fight. The whole process is based on the intelligent creation of the antityinor for a potentially potentially adverse external factor.
