When do haptens stimulate an immune response?
ONLY when attached to a carrier molecule (protein)
What types of cells fight haptens?
antibodies

they are multivalent
what does multivalent mean?
the cell can carry 2+ epitopes/copies of 1 epitope
What is the Antigen (Ag) Binding requirement for an epitope?
antigen binds to Ab paratope
What is a paratope?
antigen-binding site
What is the Antigen (Ag) Binding requirement for an paratope?
region on antibody that binds to an epitope
What are Heterologous Antigens?
Related Ags from another species
