01
Overview
Viral and bacterial antigens are molecules derived from viruses or bacteria that are recognized as foreign by the host immune system. These typically include proteins, glycoproteins, lipopolysaccharides, and other cell-surface structures that can elicit both humoral (antibody-mediated) and cellular immune responses. Detection and targeting of these antigens form the basis for vaccines, diagnostic tests, and some immunotherapies[2][4][5][6][7].
