Etymology
Antigenically comes from antigen, a modern science word made to mean 'something that makes antibodies', and it is linked to the common word antibody, which the body makes to fight germs. The parts -ic and -ally make it describe how something happens, so antigenically means 'in a way that relates to antigens', for example how a virus or vaccine looks to the immune system.
