Ant\u00edgeno (do grego anti<\/em> \u2014 contra e gennao<\/em> \u2014 criar, produzir) \u2014 \u00e9 qualquer subst\u00e2ncia estranha ao organismo que \u00e9 reconhecida pelos receptores das c\u00e9lulas imunol\u00f3gicas e desencadeia uma cascata de rea\u00e7\u00f5es imunol\u00f3gicas protetoras (induz a resposta imunol\u00f3gica). <\/p>\n\n

Normalmente, um sistema imunol\u00f3gico saud\u00e1vel percebe ant\u00edgenos como marcadores de amea\u00e7a biol\u00f3gica e inicia o processo de sua destrui\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n

Etiologia e fisiopatologia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Por sua estrutura qu\u00edmica, os ant\u00edgenos geralmente s\u00e3o prote\u00ednas complexas de alto peso molecular, glicoprote\u00ednas ou polissacar\u00eddeos. O sistema imunol\u00f3gico n\u00e3o reconhece a mol\u00e9cula inteira. Ele reage apenas a pequenos locais \u00fanicos em sua superf\u00edcie, chamados ep\u00edtopos.<\/p>\n\n

O processo de apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o de ant\u00edgenos e in\u00edcio da resposta imunol\u00f3gica envolve as etapas seguintes:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. ingest\u00e3o do pat\u00f3geno<\/strong> \u2014 quando uma bact\u00e9ria ou v\u00edrus entra no tecido, c\u00e9lulas patrulheiras especiais (macr\u00f3fagos e c\u00e9lulas dendr\u00edticas) o absorvem;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. quebra e apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong> \u2014 as c\u00e9lulas dividem fisicamente o pat\u00f3geno em fragmentos e exibem esses ep\u00edtopos antig\u00eanicos em sua pr\u00f3pria membrana celular, usando o complexo principal de histocompatibilidade (MHC);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. ativa\u00e7\u00e3o de linf\u00f3citos T<\/strong> \u2014 somente ap\u00f3s isso as c\u00e9lulas T podem “ver” o inimigo, tornar-se ativas e dar a ordem para a produ\u00e7\u00e3o maci\u00e7a de armas espec\u00edficas \u2014 os anticorpos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Import\u00e2ncia cl\u00ednica<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    O conceito de ant\u00edgenos \u00e9 a base para todo o diagn\u00f3stico laboratorial, transfusiologia e vacina\u00e7\u00e3o:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • vacina\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong> \u2014 as vacinas cont\u00eam ant\u00edgenos altamente purificados ou sinteticamente sintetizados que ensinam o sistema imunol\u00f3gico a reconhecer a infec\u00e7\u00e3o de forma segura;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • diagn\u00f3stico laboratorial<\/strong> \u2014 testes r\u00e1pidos (para COVID-19, gripe, estreptococos) visam a busca f\u00edsica de ant\u00edgenos espec\u00edficos dos pat\u00f3genos na amostra do paciente;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • transfusiologia<\/strong> \u2014 os grupos sangu\u00edneos humanos (sistema ABO e fator Rh) s\u00e3o determinados pela presen\u00e7a de ant\u00edgenos espec\u00edficos na membrana dos eritr\u00f3citos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      A transfus\u00e3o erroneamente tipificada de sangue com um ant\u00edgeno estranho causa uma crise hemol\u00edtica perigosa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
