Which best describes a finding of Landsteiner's study of haptens?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Landsteiner's study of haptens found that antibodies recognize and respond to the spatial configuration of haptens. This means that even small changes in the chemical structure of a hapten can affect the antibody response. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because Landsteiner's study showed that antibodies respond differently to different haptens with different spatial configurations. Option C is also incorrect because the study found that small chemical changes to a hapten can affect the antibody response. Option D is partially correct because a hapten can react with multiple antibodies, but this is not the main finding of Landsteiner's study.
