Surface probability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In immunology, surface probability is the amount of reflection of an antigen's secondary or tertiary structure to the outside of the molecule.[1]

A greater surface probability means that an antigen is more likely to be immunogenic (i.e. induce the formation of antibodies).
