DEFINITION

Classification: 424/175.1

Binds hapten, hapten-carrier complex, or specifically-identified chemical structure (e.g., drug, etc.):

(under subclass 130.1) Subject matter involving an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof whose antigen-binding site(s) will combine with a hapten, a hapten-carrier complex, or with a specifically-identified chemical structure that is disclosed.

(1) Note. A hapten is a substance that can bind an antibody, but which cannot induce production of an antibody unless it is coupled to a carrier that is immunogenic. A hapten is usually, but not always, of low molecular weight.

(2) Note. Antibodies that bind a specifically-identified amino acid sequence are proper for subclass 139.1.
