In contrast, the overwhelming majority of antigens for T cells are proteins, and these must be fragmented and recognized in association with MHC products expressed on the surface of nucleated cells, not in soluble form.
Most antigens are proteins that serve as the stimulus to produce an immune response. The term antigen comes from ANTI-body GENerating substances. Here are the steps in an immune response: When an antigen is detected by a macrophage (as describe above under phagocytosis), this causes the T-cells to become activated.
