Antigens Defined
Substances that cause an immune response in the body. The body "sees" the antigens as harmful or foreign. To fight them, the body produces antibodies, which attack and try to eliminate the antigens.

- Dr Mark Crislip: The Infection Schedule versus the Vaccination Schedule. In the absence of contraindicati ons, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risk of preventable childhood illnesses: "If a child is exposed to 1 antigen a day and makes one antibody a day, a very conservative estimate, then the vaccines represent about 0.694 % (15/2160)x100 of the antigen exposure of a six year old. If a child makes 152 antibodies a day, still a conservative estimate, then by age 6 the vaccine exposure would account for .004% of the antigen exposure of the child. If a child is aiming for 100 million antibodies, the rough maximum, then to reach that number by age 18, then they have to be exposed to 15,520 antigens a day and made 15520 new antibodies a day. By age 6 thats a total of 3,333,333 new antigenic exposures, and the vaccine schedule would account for 0.00045% of exposure." ;

- Duration of Humoral Immunity to Common Viral and Vaccine Antigens: Antiviral antibody responses were remarkably stable, with half-lives ranging from an estimated 50 years for varicella?zost er virus to more than 200 years for other viruses such as measles and mumps. Antibody responses against tetanus and diphtheria antigens waned more quickly, with estimated half-lives of 11 years and 19 years, respectively. B-cell memory was long-lived, but there was no significant correlation between peripheral memory B-cell numbers and antibody levels for five of the eight antigens tested.
