Immunogenicity polymerized haptens

Figure 19.14 Hapten-carrier immunogen conjugates can be formed using homobifunctional NHS ester crosslinkers. The reaction may create large polymeric complexes, some of which could precipitate.

Hapten - A relatively low molecular weight substance which, in itself is not immunogenic or antigenic, can be combined with polymeric carriers such as serum proteins and then Induce the production of antibodies specific against Itself.
