Summary Introduction

Immunoglobulins are comprised of four polypeptides, which includes two heavy chains (H) and two light chains (L) and are arranged as a pair of heterodimers. The H chain and L chains are further classified into V (variable) and C (constant) domains. The C domain plays an important role in complement binding whereas the V domain interact to form an antigen-binding site.
