The source of IgY (egg yolk), the method of antibody collection, the monthly yield of antibody and the ability to raise antibodies to conserved mammalian antigens are some of the many advantages of IgY in comparison to immunoglobulin G (IgG). While the general structure of IgY is similar ...
IgG antibody structure and function Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies are large globular proteins with a molecular weight of about 150 kDa made of four peptide chains. It contains two identical γ (gamma) heavy chains of about 50 kDa and two identical light chains of about 25 kDa, thus a te...
The structure of an intact monoclonal antibody for phenobarbital, subclass IgG1, has been determined to 3.2 Angstrom resolution by X-ray crystallography The molecule was visualized in a monoclinic unit cell having an entire immunoglobulin as the asymmetric unit. The two Fab segments, both with elbow...

of light chain-deleted antibodies in camels18. The heavy chain variable region (VHH) is the smallest antigen binding unit and can be further cloned as nanobodies. Typically, monomeric nanobodies are only 12–15 kD, while the conventional IgG antibody is approximately 150 kD. The height of a...

IgE contains two antibody light chains associated with two heavy chains of the ε isotype. The three C-terminal constant domains of the heavy chain (Cε2, Cε3, and Cε4) dimerize to form the Fc effector domains. Compared to IgG, IgE antibodies have an additional constant domain, Cε2...

(A) IgG antibody: four chains connected by disulfides, 150,000 molecular weight. Fab fragment: two chains connected by a disulfide, 50,000 molecular weight. Fv fragment: two chains, 25,000 molecular weight. sFv protein: one chain, about 26,000 molecular weight; the sFv is shown in its ...
Human IgG4 antibody shows therapeutically useful properties compared with the IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 subclasses. Thus IgG4 does not activate complement and shows conformational variability. These properties are attributable to its hinge region, which is the shortest of the four IgG subclasses. Using...
