* Differentiate between Immunogenicity and Antigenicity. Vaccinations are modified diseases. Immunogen: any agent capable of inducing an immune response. Antigen: any agent capable of binding specifically to components of the immune system (lock and key) All immunogens are antigens but not vice versa. High molecular weight: substances > 6000 Da are generally immunogenic From 1000-6000 -> may or may not be immunogenic. Haptens: antigens which are not immnogens (molecular
