Structure of Antibody (Ab) Molecule | Immunology

The very basic structure of an immunoglobulin (antibody) molecule can be demonstrated under following points: Polypeptide chains: Antibody molecules have a common strucĀ­ture of four polypeptide chains, having two different sizes. These are a pair of identical high molecular weight chains called Heavy chains (H-chains) and a pair of identical low molecular weight chains called Light chains (L-chains). Each light [...]

Structure of Antibody Molecule (With Diagram)

In this article we will discuss about the structure of an antibody molecule with the help of a suitable diagram. Also learn about its types. Antibody is a type of protein molecule produced by B-lymphocytes in response to pathogens. T-cells do not secrete antibodies directly however, they help B-cells to produce them. Each antibody molecule has four peptide chains. Out [...]
