Concept map in Immunology
Draw a concept map using the words in the list below. Then write a paragraph summarizing your map – it should be clear from your summary that you understand the meaning and significance of each term on the list, and where it fits into the overall concept.
(Your diagram may take any form – flow chart, circle diagram with a central theme and others radiating out from it, etc – as long as it shows how the terms relate to each other and to the main idea. The only unacceptable format is a list of definitions)

An antigen is a substance that stimulates an immune response, especially the production of antibodies. Antigens are usually proteins or polysaccharides, but can be any type of molecule, including small molecules (haptens) coupled to a carrier-protein.As soon as the foreign particle (antigen), whether it may be a cell or any other foreign particle, it leads to activation of immune response which is of two types, Cell Mediated and Humoral Immunity.
