All immunogens are antigens but all antigens are not immunogenDespite the fact that all antigens are recognized by specific lymphocytes or by antibodies, not every antigen can evoke an immune response. Those antigens that are capable of inducing an immune response are said to be immunogenic and are called immunogens

Because all immunogens elicit an immune response but not all antigen.
Explanation:
- Immunogens are the substances that have the ability to elicit an immune response against them in the host body. Antigens are the foreign substance that can bind to antibodies or immune receptors.
- Antigen may or may not elicit immune response. When an antigen elicits immune response it is called immunogen. So all immunogen is always an antigen but all antigen is not always an immunogen.
- Immunogen has several properties like foreignness, complexity, high molecular weight.
