• Carrier

• Antigen

portion recognized as foreign, reacts specifically with an antibody receptor

• Carrier

• Antigenic determinant or haptene

• Complete antigen

• Incomplete antigen

with 2 parts carrier and haptene

• Carrier

• Antigenic determinant or haptene

• Complete antigen

• Incomplete antigen

either carrier or haptene

• Carrier

• Antigenic determinant or haptene

• Complete antigen

• Incomplete antigen

antigens that belong to the host

• autoantigens

• alloantigens

• heteroantigens

• heterophile antigens

from the same species and capable of eliciting an immune response

• autoantigens

• alloantigens

• heteroantigens

• heterophile antigens

are from other species, such as other animals, plants or microorganisms.

• autoantigens

• alloantigens

• heteroantigens

• heterophile antigens

are heterogens that exist in unrelated plants or animals but are either identical or closely related in structure so that antibody to one will cross=react with antigen of the other

• autoantigens

• alloantigens

• heteroantigens

• heterophile antigens
