Which of the following is FALSE? O O Proteins with their ability to have a primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary structure tend to be more antigenic than carbohydrates. Antibodies are substances that cause the body to produce specific sensitized T-cells. Hapten can combine with carrier molecules to illicit antibody production. Antigens are substances that illicit an antibody response. Stainless steel is an example of a material that is non-antigenic mainly due to its insolubility.

Generally, polysaccharides are not good antigens, because B cells that recognize them cannot get T-cell help. But for some pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae opsonization by antibodies that bind the thick polysaccharide "capsule" layer surrounding the bacteria is the major mechanism of clearing the infection. As expected, a pure polysaccharide vaccine is not terribly effective, but much better immunity is achieved by vaccinating with a polysaccharide covalently linked "conjugated" to an unrelated protein. Explain how this conjugate vaccine allows B cells capable of making anti-polysaccharide antibodies.
