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 [...]

Antigens: Definition, Determinants and Immunopotency

The below mentioned article provides a short note on Antigens:- 1. Definition of Antigens 2. Antigenic Determinants 3. Immunopotency. Definition of Antigens: Substances which can give an immune response when introduced into an animal are called immunogens or antigens. Although most antigens are macromolecular proteins, polysaccharides, synthetic polypeptides and other synthetic polymers may also be immunogenic. Although the characteristics of [...]
