The ability of a foreign particle (may be antigen or other parts of pathogen) to provoke our immune system and to induce a specific immune response (humoral or cell-mediated) is known as immunogenicity. The foreign substance which induces this type of immune response or causing immunogenicity is known as immunogen. These are high molecular protein- …
