Describe about the foreignness of a molecule, which makes a substance antigenic?..

Answer / Naseem Ahmad

The foreignness of a molecule, also known as its antigenicity, is determined by its ability to be recognized as non-self by the immune system. Foreign molecules are usually not found within an organism's body and thus trigger an immune response when they enter. This foreignness can be due to various factors such as chemical structure, size, or sequence of amino acids in proteins.
