Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Haptens are small molecules like drugs or dinitrophenol that are not immunogenic alone because they cannot be presented efficiently. When conjugated to carrier proteins such as albumin, they form hapten-carrier complexes that elicit specific antibody responses, a principle used in immunization and allergy.
