The human body is capable of synthesising more than a million different kinds of immunoglobulin molecules, each capable of reacting with a different antigen, but all of them appear to share the same fundamental quaternary (globular) structure. Typically, an immunoglobulin molecule is a Y-shaped heteromer and composed of two identical heavy (H) polypeptide chains and […]

In this article we will discuss about the basic structure and classes of immunoglobulin. Antibodies are the specific glycoproteins (Immunoglobulin) produced by cells in response to stimulation by an antigen (Immunogen) and capable of reacting specifically with that antigen. Every immunoglobulin (in short they are written as Ig) has the same basic structure made up […]
