The term "hapten" does not belong in the list because it is not a complete antigen. Haptens are small molecules that can bind to antibodies, but they are unable to induce an immune response on their own.

A hapten is a small molecule that can elicit an immune response
only when conjugated with a large carrier such as a protein.
Typical haptens include drugs, urushiol, quinone, steroids, etc.
This is what I read on Creative Biolabs.
