Objectives Become familiar with some immunology terminology.
Appreciate the structural details of antibody specificity and diversity. Summarize structural and functional distinctions of the different antibody classes. Realize that members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins have diverse functions yet share the immunoglobulin fold. Many features of Ig structure and Antigen-antibody interaction can be examined in a kinemage . The four chains are covalently bonded together by disulfide bonds.
