The phrase
"multiple antigens" refers to different substances that can trigger an immune response in our body. These substances, known as antigens, are usually foreign invaders like viruses or bacteria. However,
multiple antigens means there can be more than one type of these invaders, and our immune system has to fight against all of them at the same time.

of multiple antigen localizations in a single tissue or cellular sample
About LA51: We intend LA51 and our other potential next - generation approaches to go beyond the current ZVex platform, with the ability to
deliver multiple antigens without the risk of antigen competition, as well as immunostimulatory molecules.
«We have created a potentially much less expensive approach to making a therapeutic cancer vaccine that, while targeting a single tumor antigen, generates an immune response
against multiple antigens.
Lastly, it would also be conceivable to utilize protein - DNA hybrid structures for example to better stimulate the immune response of cells, which can depend on the precise geometrical arrangement
of multiple antigens.
Although multiplexed immunoassays are frequently used to detect biomarkers, they can be complicated by the possibility of antibody cross-reactivity, which happens when an antibody binds to similar or
multiple antigens.
Stand - alone nanoparticle vaccines are also being designed to raise sufficient T cell response to eradicate tumors, through co-delivery of antigen and adjuvant, the inclusion of
multiple antigens to stimulate multiple dendritic cell targets, and continuous release of antigens for prolonged immune stimulation.
