Adaptive ImmunityAdaptive ImmunityThere are two forms of immunoglobulin (also called antibodies) which function as Ag receptors.
• Form I is located on the B cell surface (also called the BCR) and
• Form II is secreted from the B cell.
• The TCR is only expressed in the cell surface.

Hapten/CarrierHapten/CarrierA haptenhapten is a substance which can physically interact with antibodies (Ab) or with TCR but does NOT elicit an immune response from the B cells or T cells, respectively. The carriercarrier is immunogenic.

Haptens/CarrierHaptens/Carrier•Small organic molecule of simple structure.
•Does not induce an antibody response by themselves.
•However, can induce Ab response when coupled to a •protein carrier.
•Three types of Abs produced:1) anti-Hapten2) anti-protein-carrier3) anti-hapten+carrier

IMMUNOGENIMMUNOGEN
An immunogen is a substance which interacts with the B cell receptor (BCR) or the T cell receptor (TCR) and elicits a response from these cells. Thus, an immunogen is an Ag which causes either a B cell mediated humoral response or a T cell mediated response or both.

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF AGOF AG
•Ags interact with the ligand binding sites in Ab and TCR.
•Ags can be large molecules which contain several epitopes which are substructures (also called antigenic determinants) capable of interacting with the Ab receptor or the TCR.
•The physical parameters of the Ab (TCR) binding site define the Ag
binding constants (Ka and Kd).
