The immunoglobulin A isotype of the Arabian camel ( <i>Camelus dromedarius</i> ) preserves the dualistic structure of unconventional single-domain and canonical heavy chains
2023-09-06
Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary processes of adaptive immunity in Camelidae and some cartilaginous fishes resulted in the concurrent expression of classic heavy-light chain heterotetrameric antibodies together with unconventional heavy chain-only homodimeric antibodies of the IgG class. Heavy chain-only IgG bears a single variable domain and lacks the constant heavy (C H ) γ1 domain required for the covalent pairing with the light...
