Antigen Tumor Specific

Nonspecific tumor antigens: tumor cell proteins, the presence of which in the body does not allow the immune system to attack and destroy tumor cells. This is due to the fact that nonspecific antigens are not characteristic of normal tissues, as a result of which the body cannot distinguish these tissues from a tumor, which means the cancer continues to develop and grow unhindered. Because of this, it is necessary to conduct a number of examinations and evaluate the blood for diseases of different body systems.

So that we can fully understand what tumor-specific antigens are, let us clarify that these proteins are not found in the tissues of a normal person. With the exception of malignant tumors.

Tumor specific antigens are specific homologous soluble mucins. They are found in tumor blood cells, fibrous carcinomas, malignant synoviomas and chondrosarcomas. The study of specific antigens makes it possible to identify tumors of the skeletal system. The substances are immunosuppressants and do not react with active leukemia cells.

**Introduction**

Antigens are substances that the body recognizes as foreign and begins to defend against them by producing specific antibodies that can attach to these allergens. In oncology, antigens are an important object of study for understanding the pathogenesis of tumors and the development of antitumor immunity.
