IgM 131.65±14.62 8±0 7±0 25.65±14.62
IgD 138.70±17.54 8±0 7±0 32.70±17.54
IgG1-3 138.70±19.39 8±0 7±0 32.70±19.39
IgE 136.55±17.97 8±0 7±0 30.55±17.97
IgA 127.05±12.17 8±0 7±0 21.05±12.17

The average amino acid residue lengths of the complete variable region and the CDR regions, according to the IMGT nomenclature [39], are provided with their standard deviations. The size of the variable regions ranged from 111 to 173 amino acid residues. In total, 20 sequences per isotype were analyzed.
