hidden determinant

hidden determinant
an antigenic determinant located in an unexposed region of a molecule so that it is prevented from interacting with receptors on lymphocytes, or with antibody molecules, and is unable to induce an immune response unless exposed by conformational change or stereochemical alteration of the molecule. Such hidden determinants may appear following stereochemical alterations of molecular structure.
