Immunogenicity vs. Antigenicity
![Page 5: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Immunogenicity 免疫性 :
the ability to induce an Ab and/or cell-mediated immune response
Antigenicity 抗原性 :
the ability to combine specifically with Ab and/or cell-surface receptors (Ig/TCR)
![Page 6: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
- Although a substance that induces a specific immune response is usually called an antigen, it is more appropriately called an immunogen.
- Although all molecules that have the property of immunogenicity also have the property of antigenicity, the reverse is not true.
- Some small molecules, called haptens, are antigenic but incapable, by themselves, of inducing a specific immune response. In other words, they lack immunogenicity.

Landsteiner’s work demonstrated both the specificity of the immune system for small structural variations on haptens and the enormous diversity of epitopes that the immune system is capable of recognizing.

Factors That Influence Immunogenicity
![Page 10: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Intrinsic properties of an immunogen:
- Foreignness- Molecular size- Chemical composition and heterogeneity- Susceptibility to antigen processing and presentation
The biological system:
- Genotype of the recipient animal- Immunogen dosage and route of administration- Adjuvants
![Page 11: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Foreignness
- Generally, the greater the phylogenetic distance between two species, the greater the structural (and therefore the antigenic) disparity between them.
- Some macromolecules (e.g., collagen and cytochrome c) were highly conserved throughout evolution and therefore display very little immunogenicity across diverse species lines.
![Page 12: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
- Conversely, some self-components (e.g., corneal tissue and sperm) are effectively sequestered from the immune system, so that if these tissues are injected even into the animal from which they originated, they will function as immunogens.
![Page 13: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Molecular size
- There is a correlation between the size of a macromolecule and its immunogenicity.
- The best immunogens tend to have a molecular mass >100,000 daltons (Da).
- Generally, substances with a molecular mass less than 5,000 – 10,000 Da are poor immunogens.
![Page 14: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chemical composition and complexity
- Synthetic homopolymers tend to lack immunogenicity regardless of their size.
- All 4 levels of protein organization – primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary – contribute to the structural complexity of a protein and hence affect its immunogenicity.
![Page 15: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Four levels of protein organizational structure
![Page 16: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
For Ab (B cell) responses:
Proteins are the most potent immunogens, with polysaccharides ranking second. Lipids and nucleic acids of an infectious agent generally do not serve as immunogens unless they are complexed with proteins or polysaccharides.
For T cell responses:
Only proteins and some lipids (glycolipids and phospholipids) serve as immunogens.
![Page 17: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Susceptibility to antigen processing and presentation
- The development of both Ab-mediated and T-cell-mediated immune responses requires interaction of T cells with Ag that has been processed and presented together with MHC molecules.
![Page 18: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
- Large, insoluble macromolecules generally are more immunogenic than small, soluble ones because the larger molecules are more readily phagocytosed and processed.
- Molecules that cannot be degraded (e.g., polymers of D-amino acids) and/or cannot be presented with MHC molecules are poor immunogens.
![Page 19: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The biological system contributes to immunogenicity
- Genotype of the recipient animal
- Immunogen dosage and route of administration
- Adjuvants
![Page 20: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Immunogen dosage and route of administration
Doses: too low no response, too high tolerance
Exposure: repeated administration (booster) over a period of time is usually more effective
Routes: orally ( 從口入的 ) parenterally ( 非從口入的 )
- intravenous (iv) : into a vein - intradermal (id) : into the skin - subcutaneous (sc) : beneath the skin - intramuscular (im) : into a muscle - intraperitoneal (ip) : into the peritoneal cavity

Adjuvants 佐劑
- Latin adjuvare, to help
- Substances that, when mixed with an antigen and injected with it, enhance the immunogenicity of that antigen.
![Page 23: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Effects of adjuvants1. antigen persistence is prolonged - slower release of antigen at the injection site e.g., alum 明礬 [AlK(SO4)2],
2. costimulatory signals (p. 159) are enhanced - increased expression of B7 molecules on APC maximal activation of TH cells
3. local inflammation is increased4. nonspecific proliferation of lymphocytes is stimulated
- formation of a dense, macrophage-rich mass of cells called a granuloma 肉芽腫 e.g., incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA), complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)
![Page 24: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Epitopes
![Page 26: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
- Lymphocytes do not interact with, or recognize, entire immunogen molecules; instead, they recognize discrete sites on the macromolecule called epitopes, or antigenic determinants.
- epitopes: immunologically active regions of an immunogen, that bind to Ag-specific membrane receptors on lymphocytes or to secreted Abs.
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
T-cell and B-cell epitopes
- The recognition of antigens by T cells and B cells is fundamentally different.
- Because B cells bind antigen that is free in solution, the epitopes they recognize tend to be highly accessible sites on the exposed surface of the immunogen.
- T-cell epitopes are peptides combined with MHC molecules. Thus, there is no requirement for solution accessibility such as B-cell epitope.
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Properties of B-cell epitopes
1. B-cell epitopes on native proteins generally are composed of hydrophilic a.a. on the protein surface that are topographically accessible to membrane-bound or free Ab.
2. B-cell epitopes may be composed of sequential or nonsequential amino acids.

Ab to native HEL does not bind to reduced HEL
![Page 32: Chapter 4 Antigens and Antibodies Oct 17, 19 & 24, 2006 Complementarity of interacting surfaces of Ab and Ag AbAg](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020717/56649e555503460f94b4c141/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3. B-cell epitopes tend to be located in flexible regions of an immunogen and display site mobility.
- site mobility of epitopes maximizes complementarity with the Ab’s binding site
4. Complex proteins contain multiple overlapping B-cell epitopes, some of which are immunodominant.
- Most of the surface of a globular protein is potentially immunogenic.
- Some epitopes, called immunodominant, induce a more pronounced immune response in a particular animal than other epitopes.

- Antibodies generally do not kill or remove pathogens solely by binding to them.
- While V regions bind to Ag, the CCH H regionregion is responsible for a variety of collaborative interactions with other proteins, cells, and tissues that result in the effector functions of the Ab responses.

- Opsonization ( 調理作用 ) is promoted by Ab
- Abs activate complement ( 補體 ) (chapter 7)
- Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) kills cells (p. 366 chapter 14)
- Some Abs can cross epithelial layers by transcytosis

Questions
• How to predict whether a molecule is a “good” immunogen?
• What are the differences between B-cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes?
• Draw a schematic diagram of a typical IgG molecule and label each of the chains, bonds, regions, sites, fragments and domains.
• How does Ab kill or remove pathogens?
• What is the principal of making monoclonal antibody?
