Summary

DescriptionHeavy chain and common antibody.svg	English: heavy chain antibodies in comparison to an ordinary antibody. IgNAR: shark heavy chain antibody hcIgG: camelid heavy chain antibody IgG: ordinary antibody V_H: heavy chain variable (antigen-binding) domain C_H1–C_H5: heavy chain constant domains V_L: light chain variable domain C_L: light chain constant domain Heavy chains are shown in a darker shade, light chains in a lighter shade. Italiano: anticorpi a catena pesante rispetto a un anticorpo ordinario. IgNAR: anticorpo a catena pesante di squalo hcIgG: anticorpo a catena pesante di camelide IgG: anticorpo ordinario V_H: regione variabile di una catena pesante (legante l'antigeno) C_H1–C_H5: regione costante di una catena pesante V_L: regione variabile di una catena leggera C_L: regione costante di una catena leggera Le catene pesanti sono rappresentate in una tonalità più scura, le catene leggere in una tonalità più chiara.
