Antibody Igg Pins and Buttons

Description: A detailed anatomy of immunoglobulin G showing heavy and light chains, variable and constant domains, CDR loops, hinge region, disulfide bonds, the N-linked glycan and the Fab and Fc regions bound to an antigen. A lower panel illustrates the proteolytic fragments obtained with papain and pepsin. Part of the Atlas of Medical Science collection: a consistent series of scientific plates with a deep navy background, fine gold frame and precise English labels.

Description: The five antibody isotypes compared side by side: IgG, IgD and IgE monomers, secretory IgA dimer with J chain and secretory component, and the IgM pentamer. Each class is annotated with its heavy chain, molecular weight, serum abundance and key biological function. Part of the Atlas of Medical Science collection: a consistent series of scientific plates with a deep navy background, fine gold frame and precise English labels.
