Concepts Antibody (Ab): Glycoprotein molecule
s that are produced by plasma cells and can combine with the corresponding Ag specifically are called Ab.
Ab is produced by B cells in the response to a stimulation of Ag.
Ab possesses a high degree of specificity and affinity
• Immunoglobulin(Ig): It refers to all globulins that possess the activ
ity of Ab or show a similar structure to Ab
• Therefore, All Abs are Igs, but not all Igs possess the functions of Abs
Other Conceptsγ- Globulin
Antiserum Humoral Immunity sIg and mIg(BCR)
SectionⅠ Molecular Structure of Ig
Ⅰ. Basic structure Ig is composed of four polypeptide chains j
oined by S-S bonds. inter-chain disulfide bonds (S-S) intra-chain disulfide bonds (S-S)
It shows “T” or “Y” shape.
(four polypeptide chains)
1. H and L chain:
. Heavy chains (H): 450 ~ 550 aa, 50 ~ 75 KD
. Light chains (L): 214 aa, 25 KD
Two terminal ends for each peptide chain
“N” terminal end “C” terminal end
L chains attach to H chains from “N” end
“N”
“C”
2. classes and types of Ig (1) According to the differences of H chains (amino acid composition, sequence) Igs can be divided into 5 classes • Five classes of H Chain: • Five classes of Igs: IgG IgA IgM IgD IgE
subclasses
IgG1~ IgG4IgA1, IgA2
(2) According to the differences of L chains
• Two types of L chain: , : 20:1 (in mice); 2:1 (in
human)
subtypes
1~ 4
3. Two regions of each peptide chain
(1) Constant region (C)
(3)(3) Hinge regionHinge region
(2) Variable(2) Variable regionregion (V) (V)
(1) Constant region ( C )• CH: 3/4 or 4/5 (,) of H chain from the c
end
• CL: 1/2 of L chain from the c end
(2) Variable region ( V )• CH: 1/4 or 1/5 (,) of H chain from the N
end
• CL: 1/2 of L chain from the N end
3. Two regions of each peptide chain chain
(2) Variable region ( V ): Hypervariable region(HVR) There are three highly diversity stret
ches within the V egion, they are called HVR.
Framework region(FR): FR1-FR4
Ag-binding sites
Complementarity determining regions(CDR)
(2) Variable region (V)
Complementarity determining regions(CDR)
L: CDR1, CDR2, CDR3
H: CDR1, CDR2, CDR3
Idiotype of Ig Igs produced by different B cells possess unique
structure respectively in hypervariable region (HVR), the unique structure of Ig is called idiotype or idiotypic determinant
In fact: HVR CDR Idiotype are in the same sites of Ig
(3) Hinge region:• Flexible and suitable for CDR of Ig bi
nding to antigenic determinants.• Sensitive to proteolytic enzyme• IgM, IgE
Other structures of Ig • Joining chain(J) Secretory piece(SP)
Joining chain(J ) :
Produced by plasma cells Functions:linker, to compose dimer 、
pentamer or polymer(IgA, IgM)
Secretory piece( SP): . Produced by mucosa epithelial cells . Secretory IgA (sIgA) . Functions: protect sIgA, resist proteolys
is in extra secretory liquid.
IgA
Ⅱ. Domains of Ig
1. Domain :
Polypeptide chains of Ig are folded into a globul
ar structure by intra chain s-s bond within each 110aa region which is called a domain
2. Domains of Ig• L chain(2) : VL, CL• H chain(4~5): VH, CH1, CH2, CH3 CH4(in IgM,IgE) hinge region
3. Function of each domain
• VH, VL: antigen-binding site• CH1, CL: allogeneic marker• CH2/CH3: complement-fixing site, permeate placenta(IgG) • CH3/CH4: cell-binding site Hinge region :
flexible and suitable for CDR of Ig binding to antigenic determinants
Ⅲ. Hydrolytic fragments of Ig
Ig can be digested by papain and pepsin
• Position • Fragments • Function
1. Digested by papain• Position: near the S-S bonds of H inter-chains fromthe N end
Fragments: 2Fab:fragment antigen-binding Fc:fragment crystallizable
Function: Fab: recognize and bind Ag
Fc: (1) fix complement (2) crossing the placenta (3) bind to FcR in different cells
•
Ag:Ab ratio
2. Digested by pepsin• Position: near the S-S bond of H inter-chains from the C end
• Fragments and function : F(ab′)2: bind antigen(2 valence) pFc′: no function
Significance Elucidating the relationships betw
een the structure and function of Igs
Decrease the immunogenicity of Ig for clinical treatment
SectionⅡ Characteristics and Functions of the 5 Classes of Igs
Ⅰ. IgG 1. Highest concentration in serum(75
% of total Ig)
2. Four subclasses: IgG1, IgG2,
IgG3, IgG4
3. Unique Ig that can pass through placenta
4. Half-life is longer( 16-24 days )
5. Starts to be produced at 2-3 month after birth and reach the level of adult at 5 years old
6. Functions of IgG:• Against bacteria and virus,neutralize toxin• Combine with the Fc receptor(FcγR)• Activate complement• Combine with SPA• Some belong to the auto-antibodies• Take part in type Ⅱ and Ⅲ hypersensitivit
y
Ⅱ. IgM 1. Highest MW : pentamer ( 90 KD ) ,10 valence
s
2. Half-life is shorter(4~5 days)
3. The first Ig to be synthesized• Appear in the early stage after infection • Be produced during fetus• The first mIg of the B cells, act as the antigen recept
ors(BCR)
4. Functions:
• IgM is more effective in binding Ag and activating C, and play an important role in anti-infection
• Natural Ab for blood-type antigen • Auto-antibody: rheumatoid factor(RF)• Take part in type Ⅱ and Ⅲ hypersens
itivity
ⅢⅢ. . IgAIgA
1. Two types Serum type : monomer Secretary type ( sIgA ) : dimer , trimer or polymer

west in normal individual, but is very high in some patients.
