Table 2. Analysis of the complement determining regions (CDR) of the different isotypes.
Isotype | Length of the variable region | Length of the CDR1H | Length of the CDR2H | Length of the CDR3H |
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.
