Which one of the following is true?A. This diversity is generated from 108 different immunoglobin genes.B. Most of these antibodies recognize self-antigens.C. Most of these antibodies recognize proteins. D. Most of these antibodies recognize small organic molecules.E. There are really just a small number of antibodies, each of which can bind to many different antigens.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 thereforeA. an antigenB. a haptenC. an immunogenD. both an antigen and a haptenarrow_forward
