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]
A heavy-chain antibody is an antibody which consists only of two heavy chains and lacks the two light chains usually found in antibodies. In common antibodies, the antigen binding region consists of the variable domains of the heavy and light chains (V H and V L). Heavy-chain antibodies can bind antigens despite having only V H domains.
Rosetta Antibody is a novel antibody F V region structure prediction server, which incorporates sophisticated techniques to minimize CDR loops and optimize the relative orientation of the light and heavy chains, as well as homology models that predict successful docking of antibodies with their unique antigen.

Antibody (or immunoglobulin) structure is made up of two heavy-chains and two light-chains.These chains are held together by disulfide bonds.The arrangement or processes that put together different parts of this antibody molecule play important role in antibody diversity and production of different subclasses or classes of antibodies.
Anti-Lambda Light Chain Type Description; Anti-Lambda Light Chain [N10/2] This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to the Lambda light chain. It does not cross react with Kappa light chains. N10/2 most importantly recognizes pathologies such as leukemias, plasmacytomas, and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. [22]
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 ...
Human antibody molecules (including B cell receptors) are composed of heavy and light chains, each of which contains both constant (C) and variable (V) regions, genetically encoded on three loci: The immunoglobulin heavy locus on chromosome 14, containing the gene segments for the immunoglobulin heavy chain.
