Very low doses of antigen may induce low zone immunity immunological ignorance low zone tolerance hypersensitivity TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The antibiotic penicillin is a small molecule that does not induce antibody formation. However, penicillin binds to serum proteins and forms a complex that in some people induces antibody formation resulting in an allergic reaction. Penicillin is therefore an immunogen an antigen a hapten both an antigen and a hapten TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
