Figure 1. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of the light chains genes of Fab antibodies.

Figure 1

The phylogenetic tree was based on amino acid sequence in the variable regions of light chains. Among the 94 human Fab clones, 82 clones in purple represent human germline genes as specified by the VK1 family, 2 belong to VK3 family, 4 belong to VL1 family, 1 belongs to VL2 family, and 5 belong to VL3 family.
