Production of a neoantigen would result from:
A) Fungal infection
B) Genetic mutation
C) Presence of endotoxins
D) Processing of parasitic antigens

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neoantigen is a new self antigen expressed on a cell and is the result of a genetic mutation. The genetic mutation could arise from a variety of circumstances, including viral infection or drugs, which could affect the genetic makeup of the cell. Fungal or parasitic infections and endotoxins are unlikely to cause genetic mutations.
