Antigen is any substance that may be specifically bound by an antibody molecule. These are mainly proteins but can be polysaccharides, glycoproteins or other types of conjugated proteins, nucleic acids or chemicals.

Each antigen has many antigenic determinants, also called epitopes, of the antigen. As each antibody binds with 2 or more such determinants, one antigen can bind with many antibodies. The recognition ability is innate and develops without exposure to the antigen. When the antigen first enters the body, it can bind directly to the appropriate receptors on B cells. However, a full antibody response requires that the B cells contact helper T cells. ln the case of T cells, the antigen is taken up by an antigen-presenting cells and partially digested. A peptide fragment of it is presented to the appropriate receptors on T cells. In either case, the cells are stimulated to divide, forming clones of cells that respond to this antigen.
