An antibody molecule. The two heavy chains are colored red, blue, and purple. The two light chains green and yellow. See also: The immunoglobulin light chain is the small polypeptide subunit of an antibody (immunoglobulin). A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and two Ig light chains.
Schematic diagram of a typical antibody showing two Ig heavy chains (purple) joined by disulfide bonds to two Ig light chains (green). The constant (C) and variable (V) domains are shown. An antibody molecule. The two heavy chains are colored red and blue and the two light chains green and yellow. [1]
The chromosomal region that encodes an antibody is large and contains several distinct gene loci for each domain of the antibody—the chromosome region containing heavy chain genes is found on chromosome 14, and the loci containing lambda and kappa light chain genes (IGL@ and IGK@) are found on chromosomes 22 and 2 in humans. One of these ...
When it's time to take a test, experts want you to know what the line on your test actually means and whether a darker or lighter positive line on a COVID-19 test can tell you anything about your ...

Doctors generally agree that this means you have COVID-19. “A faint line on a COVID test means the test is positive,” says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., a senior scholar at ...
The "upper" part of an antibody. The complementarity-determining regions of the heavy chain are shown in red (Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are polypeptide segments of the variable chains in immunoglobulins (antibodies) and T cell receptors, generated by B-cells and T-cells respectively. CDRs are where these molecules bind to their ...
If a couple is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, why would blood tests show they are negative for COVID-19 antibodies? It probably has to do with the test itself.
