A. Proteins -The vast majority of immunogens are proteins. These may be pure proteins or they may be glycoproteins or lipoproteins. In general, proteins are usually very good immunogens.
B. Polysaccharides - Pure polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides are good immunogens.
C. Nucleic Acids - Nucleic acids are usually poorly immunogenic. However, they may become immunogenic when single stranded or when complexed with proteins.
D. Lipids - Lipids are non-immunogenic, although they may be haptens.

Write up the answers/table clearly, with your name and reg no, and bring to class when lectures begin, for assessment.
