Immunoglobulins: Structure, Classification and Determination

In this article we will discuss about Immunoglobulins:- 1. Structure of Immunoglobulins 2. Classification of Immunoglobulins 3. Electrophoretic Determination 4. Quantitative Determination. Structure of Immunoglobulins: a. The basic unit of all immunoglobulin molecules consists of 4 polypeptide chains linked by disulfide bonds shown in Fig. 30.1 b. There are two identical heavy (H) chains (MW 53,000-75,000) and two identical light [...]
