  definition

  Antigens are...

  Structures that are recognized and bound by antibodies. Most antigens are proteins but may also be made from carbohydrates, lipids, and other substances. In case of an autoimmune disease, the immune system views the body’s own structures as foreign – in which case they are called auto-antigens.
