Surface probability

Surface probability

In immunology, surface probability refers to the amount of reflection of an antigen's secondary and/or tertiary structure to the outside of the molecule.

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