But there are more radical readings of the contextualist setting by which antigens are sensed, and debate concerning what constitutes the milieu of meaning of antigenicity and ensuing reaction have spawned certain provocative, and potentially important models of immune regulation (reviewed in Podolsky and Tauber 1997; Tauber 2000).

It follows then that the virus hemagglutinins in the vaccine also lose their antigenicity because of N-neuraminidase, and consequently those who are vaccinated cannot form antibodies against the hemagglutinins!

Research has demonstrated that N-neuraminidase causes red blood cells to lose their antigenicity.

One notable strategy is through pegylation, which involves the attachment of polyethylene glycol polymers to the therapeutic protein to mask the molecule from the host immune system and thereby reduce immunogenicity and antigenicity.
