A partial or incomplete antigen, often referred to as a hapten, is a small molecule that cannot provoke an immune response on its own because it is not large enough or structurally complex enough. However, when it binds to a larger carrier protein, it can form a complete antigen, prompting an immune response. Haptens are important in understanding allergic reactions and certain autoimmune conditions, as they can trigger responses when attached to proteins in the body. Examples include certain drugs and chemicals that can lead to hypersensitivity reactions.
