Which of the Following Molecules Would Be Expected to Be

Question

Which of the following molecules would be expected to be immunogenic?
A) Progesterone, a lipid hormone.
B) Serum albumin, a large protein.
C) Glucose, a simple sugar.
D) Linoleic acid, a fatty acid.
E) These are all equally immunogenic.

Accepted Answer

Immunogenicity depends on multiple factors including molecular weight, complexity of the molecule, and presence of antigenic epitopes. Large proteins like serum albumin have higher immunogenicity compared to small molecules like lipids or simple sugars.
