Immunogenicity

Immunogenicity is the ability of a foreign substance to enter a person's body and elicit an immune response. A good example of immunogenicity is vaccination. When a person is vaccinated, they are injected with a very small amount of a specific disease. Once a person receives the injection, their immune system will start to create antibodies, which are special proteins created by the body that help protect us from viruses and infectious bacteria. Another great example of immunogenicity is when a person gets a viral infection. When a virus enters a body and makes that person sick, the immune system responds by creating antibodies designed to destroy the virus. As the immune system creates more antibodies, the body is able to destroy all the viruses and the person will eventually get better.
