Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The term, “hapten, ‘’ was coined by Landsteiner and Jacobs [1] and is derived from the Greek “hapten”, meaning “to fasten.” Haptens are low molecular weight (LMW; <1000 daltons) chemicals that must bind to a carrier molecule to be antigenic.
Detailed explanation-2: -An antigen is a foreign or “non-self” macromolecule that reacts with cells of the immune system. Not all antigens will provoke a response.
