18
Q

What is the exudate

A

19
Q

What is an antigen 2

A

A molecular structure that can be recognised by an antibody

Any substance which the immune system can mount an antibofy or adaptive immune response

20
Q

What is an immunogen

A

Antigen independently capable of driving an immune response in absence of additional substances

21
Q

What is a hapten

A

A small molecule which does not alone act as an antigen but when bound to a larger molecule can create an antigen
Eg penicillin binding to a molecule which may cause theurapeutic processes
