Greetings to all lovers of scientific literature! Today I want to share with you an interesting topic that may be useful for those who are interested in medicine and biology. We will talk about organ-specific antigens, or AGOPs.
An organospecific antigen is a unique protein that is part of human or animal cells and is recognized by the immune system as “dangerous” to the body. AgOPs are found in abundance in tissue and blood cells, but can also be found in other tissues of the body. These antigens are important to the immune system because they stimulate the production of specific antibodies, which allows the body

Antigen-specific
Organ-specific antibodies or antigens are individual cellular components that are formed in the body after contact with foreign substances. From the anatomy course we know that protective functions against harmful microorganisms and infections are performed by immune cells located in all tissues of the body. Consequently, in order for our protective cells to understand what to fight, they receive special messages - informational molecular signals encoding the capture and destruction of the pathogen, produced individually by each tissue cell (organ).
Each person’s body is individual and does not resemble the body of another; accordingly, organs react differently to infection. That is why organ-specific immune reactions ensure the coordinated interaction of human immunity.
The close connection of immune reactions with the pathological process is also evidenced by the fact that the effectiveness of acquired immunity (in relation to most microbes) is determined not only by the influence of infection, but also by the reactivity of the body. In this regard, methods for diagnosing infectious diseases based on the level of organosopic immune responses are being created. In addition, this makes it possible to determine tactics for correcting the immune status to improve the body’s resistance to infectious agents.
