DEFINITIONSDEFINITIONSANTIGEN (Ag) - any substance, which is recognized by
the mature immune system of a given organism
ANTIGENICITY– capability of an antigen to bind to bind specificallyspecifically with certain product of the adaptive immunity: TCR or BCR/antibody,
– immunogenicity - capability of an antigen to induceinduce an (adaptive) immune response,
– tolerogenicity - capability to induce immunological tolerance, specific immune non-responsiveness

Carrierpart of the antigen directly not involved in connection with the defined Ig/BCR or TCR
These terms can only be used to describe the interaction of particular antigenic determinant and single immunoglobulin or T cell receptor
HAPTENsubstance that is non-immunogenic but which can react with the products of a specific immune response. Haptens are small molecules which could never induce an immune response when administered by themselves but which can when coupled to a carrier molecule. Free haptens, however, can react with products of the immune response after such products have been elicited. Haptens have the property of antigenicity but not immunogenicity.

• Acute inflammation is a rapid response to an injurious agent that serves to deliver mediators of host defense — leukocytes and plasma proteins — to the site of injury.
• Acute inflammation has three major components:
1) alterations in vascular caliber that lead to an increase in blood flow
2) structural changes in the microvasculature that permit plasma proteins and leukocytes to leave the circulation
3) emigration of the leukocytes from the micro-circulation, their accumulation in the focus of injury, and their activation to eliminate the offending agent
ACUTE INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS ARE ACUTE INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS ARE TRIGGERED BY A VARIETY OF STIMULITRIGGERED BY A VARIETY OF STIMULI::
• Infections (pathogenic microbes and microbial toxins)
• Trauma (blunt and penetrating)• Physical and chemical agents (thermal
injury e.g. burns or frostbite; irradiation; some environmental chemicals)
• Tissue necrosis (from any cause)• Foreign bodies (splinters, dirt, sutures)• Immune reactions (hypersensitivity and
autoimmune reactions)
The classic symptoms of inflammation:
redness (rubor), swelling (tumor), heat (calor), pain (dolor),loss of function (functio laesa)

Pus is a whitish-yellow, yellow, or yellow-brown exudate produced by vertebrates during inflammatory pyogenic bacterial infections. Pus consists of a thin, protein-rich fluid, known as liquor puris, and dead cells.
