Degradability

DEGRADABILITY

  • All foreign materials are not capable of stimulating immune response e.g. stainless steel pin, plastic heart valves etc.
  • The macromolecule which are degradable in nature can act as antigen. Plastic bags are inert organic polymers, not degradable and they are not antigen.
  • The antigen molecule should be degraded and processed to form suitable to trigger immune response.
