Chimeric antigens
Antigens are foreign substances that induce the body to generate an immune response and produce antibodies. The better the immune system can recognize antigens, the more effective immune response it can mount. Chimeric antigens are specially engineered proteins that designed to improve the ability of immune cells to target a specific disease-associated antigen.
