The water-accessible surface area of an IgG antibody. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody. Representing approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. [1] IgG molecules are created and released by plasma B cells. Each IgG antibody has two paratopes.
This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to human IgG. It has the ability to bind to all 4 human IgG subtypes: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. [7] Anti-Human IgG [8E11] This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to human IgG. However, it can screen for IgG in nonhuman primates including vervets, chimpanzees, and mangabeys.
This region allows antibodies to activate the immune system, for example, through binding to Fc receptors. In IgG , IgA and IgD antibody isotypes , the Fc region is composed of two identical protein fragments, derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody's two heavy chains ; IgM and IgE Fc regions contain three heavy chain ...
Mechanism of class-switch recombination that allows isotype switching in activated B cells. Immunoglobulin class switching, also known as isotype switching, isotypic commutation or class-switch recombination (CSR), is a biological mechanism that changes a B cell's production of immunoglobulin from one type to another, such as from the isotype IgM to the isotype IgG. [1]
Each antibody binds to a specific antigen in a highly specific interaction analogous to a lock and key.. An antibody (Ab) or immunoglobulin (Ig) is a large, Y-shaped protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily which is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize antigens such as bacteria and viruses, including those that cause disease.
Immunofluorescence is a widely used example of immunostaining (using antibodies to stain proteins) and is a specific example of immunohistochemistry (the use of the antibody-antigen relationship in tissues). This technique primarily utilizes fluorophores to visualize the location of the antibodies, while others provoke a color change in the ...
Costco announced a recall of Kirkland Severe Cold & Flu Capsules due to the potential of foreign material contamination.
Advanced Placement (AP) Biology (also known as AP Bio) is an Advanced Placement biology course and exam offered by the College Board in the United States. For the 2012–2013 school year, the College Board unveiled a new curriculum with a greater focus on "scientific practices".
