Divergent disulfide bond architecture defines two IgY subclasses in snakes

2026-02-12

Abstract excerpt

Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) represents the major serum antibody in reptiles and birds, serving as the evolutionary precursor to mammalian IgG and IgE. While IgY diversification has been documented in several reptilian lineages, the structural basis underlying subclass divergence remains poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic and structural analysis of IgY sequences from 20 snake species, revea...
