Hapten
A hapten is a low molecular weight molecule that contains an antigenic determinant but which is not itself antigenic unless combined with an antigenic carrier. Found op http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/medchem/ah.html

Hapten
Hapten: In immunology, a molecule that is incapable, alone, of causing the production of antibodies but which can do so when fastened to a larger antigenic molecule called a carrier. The term 'hapten' was taken from the Greek verb 'haptein' meaning 'to fasten or bind.' Haptin and haptene are alterna... Found op http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.html?articlekey=15330

hapten
Could be considered an isolated epitope: although a hapten (by definition) has an antibody directed against it, the hapten alone will not induce an immune response if injected into an animal, it must be conjugated to a carrier (usually a protein). The hapten constitutes a single antigenic determinan... Found op http://www.encyclo.co.uk/visitor-contributions.php

hapten
(hap´tәn) a small molecule, not antigenic by itself, that can react with specific antibodies and elicit the formation of such antibodies when conjugated to a larger antigenic molecule, usually a protein, called in this context the carrier.

hapten
hapten In immunology, a small molecule, having at least one of the determinant groups of an antigen, that can combine with an antibody but is not immunogenic unless it acts in conjunction with a carrier molecule. Found op http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/954/

Hapten
A compound, usually of low molecular weight, that is not itself immunogenic but that, after conjugation to a carrier protein or cells, becomes immunogenic and induces antibody, which can bind the hapten alone in the absence of carrier.

Hapten
A hapten is a small molecule that can elicit an immune response only when attached to a large carrier such as a protein; the carrier may be one that also does not elicit an immune response by itself. (In general, only large molecules, infectious agents, or insoluble foreign matter can elicit an imm... Found op http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapten
