2
New cards

Hapten

substance that is nonimmunogenic

(thing that doesn’t cause immune reaction)

3
New cards

Adjuvant

Substances delivered simultaneously with antigen for purpose of potentiating/enhancing the immune response

(antigen that makes immune response stronger)

4
New cards

Heterophile Antigens/Antibodies

Antigen/Antibodies that exist in unrelated plants/animals but are either identical/closely related with the other (Antigens/Antibodies from plants/animals that are similar to humans)

5
New cards

Haplotype

set of genes that are located close together on a chromosome and are usually inherited as a single unit

(genes that are close to each other and inherited together)

6
New cards

Immunogenicity

the ability of an antigen to stimulate a host response

(Whether or not an antigen can cause an immune reaction)
