    An antigen is defined as any substance that can invoke an immune response. Aspirin does not. Aspirin can be classed as nano-technology as the elements that combine to form an aspirin tablet enter the bodies systems and effect changes. However, some people do have an allergic reaction to aspirin and their immune system responds. This is not a normal reaction and is due to the inappropriate response of IgE antibodies.
