单词 hapten
释义

Definition of hapten in English:

hapten

noun ˈhaptənˈhapten
Physiology
  • A small molecule which, when combined with a larger carrier such as a protein, can elicit the production of antibodies which bind specifically to it (in the free or combined state).

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Supporting this is the discovery by Vojdani et al., who reported that some individuals develop allergic antibodies to haptens formed in response to MTBE binding to albumin.
    • The bound microparticle complexes are then incubated with antidetection hapten alkaline phosphatase conjugate, which binds to the detection haptens.
    • The Aberdeen company uses antibodies to detect haptens - tiny molecules that can signal the presence of poisonous or disease-causing substances.
    • Perhaps the binding of TABMs to chemical haptens produces a local increase in TGF- [Beta] at sites of chemical exposure, particularly the upper and lower respiratory tract, with neuropeptide release.
    • It is likely that low-molecular-weight agents act as haptens, combining with human proteins in the respiratory tract to become complete immunogens.

Origin

Early 20th century: from Greek haptein 'fasten'.
