Not necessarily. Red blood cells from Type O blood don't have antigens on their surface,
Ok you are going to have to be more specific as to what you call an antigen, because apparently anything seen as foreign is considered an antigen under some definitions. Clearly Type 0 blood has a foundational quality that all bodies see as self, rather then it not having antigens on its surface, the surface is an antigen if the body doesnt recognize it as self, and not of it does. Not necessarily, a virus would have to mimic a Typo 0 blood cell membrane. So clearly a cell wall of a virus would be seen as an antigen and therefore inactivated vaccines would induce more immunological responses then the mRNA, the cells presenting the spikes are human.
which is what allows them to be used in transfusion to any other blood type as there won't be an immune response. So membranes alone don't always generate an immune response.Dysexlia
Understood. Sorry for asking.
Nothing to say sorry for.
What antigens do pollen have? Or cat hair or dog hair? None as fair as I am aware, yet all elicite an immune response as allergy.
Interestingly enough, they actually do: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3587276/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2419384/
Having investigated what is considered an antigen, that being anything seen as foreign , inherently pollen is an antigen, still you're reference of antigens was relative to the S Protein, the surface of a cell is also an antigen if the body doesnt recognize it as self.
