What is the function of the heavy chain antibody?
Remarkably, these heavy chain antibodies are functional in antigen binding and reach high titers and affinities after immunizing a camelid. Antigen recognition by HCAbs is mediated by one single variable domain, referred to as VHH.What is the function of heavy chain and light chain?
Heavy chain and light chain are two subunits of an antibody. Heavy chain is the large polypeptide subunit of an antibody, while light chain is the small polypeptide subunit of an antibody. So, this summarizes the difference between heavy chain and light chain.What is heavy chain in immunology?
A heavy chain is the large polypeptide subunit of a protein complex, such as a motor protein (e.g. myosin, kinesin, or dynein) or antibody (or immunoglobulin). A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and two Ig light chains.- There are 5 types of heavy chain constant regions in antibodies (immunoglobulin) and according to these types, they are classified into IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE.

- Each heavy and light chain is made up of a number of domains(= Ig folding or Ig domains - Light chains consist of 2 domains (C and V).
- Heavy chains have 4-5 domains (depending on the class of antibody) - Each domain is about 110amino acids in length and contains an intrachain disulfide bond between two cysteines about 60
amino acids apart.

1.Constant region- amino
acid sequence in the C- terminal regions of the H andL chains
is the same.2.Variable region -amino
acid sequence in the N- terminal regions of the H andL chains
is different. This region provides antibodies with unique specificity.3.Hyper-variable regionsare
regions within the variable regions (greater specificities). 1 12 3Summary
•Molecule consists of Constant and Variable regions for both Light and Heavy chains (CH, VH, CL, VL)
•Ig molecule made of domains •Domains ~ 110 aa •Each antigen-binding site is made up of the N- terminal domain of the heavy and the light chains •IgM and IgE possess4 CHdomains (CH1-CH4)
while IgG, IgA and IgD have3 CHdomains (CH1-
CH3). Hinge region is missing.
•Hypervariable regionsin the Variable regions of both H and L chains. -Within the variable domains are three regions of extreme variability.These are referred to as
the hypervariable regions.These regions of the
variable domains actually contact the antigen.They therefore make up
the antigen-binding site.These regions are also
called the complementarity- determining regions , or CDRs.Heavy Chain Light Chain
Complementarity-Determining Regions, or CDRs.

-Antibodies are comprised of repeating 110 aa units referred to as domains orIg folds. - The C-terminal domains are constant from antibody to antibody (within a class). -The constant region domains are responsible for all functions of antibody other than antigen binding ( opsonization, ADCC, complement activation) Biological Function! -The N-terminal domains are variable from antibody to antibody and are referred to as " variable domains". -The variable domains contain 3 hypervariable regions- the CDRs. -The CDRs of the V domains in both H and Lchains make up the antigen-binding site.Antibody-Mediated Effector
Functions
• Binding to Antigen • OPSONIZATION: FcR in Macrophages and neutrophils • COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION: IgG and IgM • ADCC - NK cells trough FcR • CROSSING EPITHELIAL LAYERS - IgA (but also IgM) • CROSSING PLACENTA- IgG Fcγreceptors enhance phagocytosis of foreign cells/particles coated with IgG Antibody made in response to foreign cells (cells/viral particles/bacteria etc) will bind to those cells.Macrophages (and neutrophils) possess
receptors for the Fc region of IgG. Binding of macrophage Fc receptors to antibody bound to cells/particles facilitates and increases phagocytosis of cells/particles.Kuby Figure 14-12
ADCC - Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity - mediated by IgGAntibody made in response to
foreign cells (cells/viral particles/bacteria etc) will bind to those cells.Cells of the innate immune
system (neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages,NK cells) possess receptors
for theFc regionof IgG.
These cells bind to antibody
on the surface of foreign cells and release lytic compounds lysis.Monomer, Dimer, and Pentamer
4 Structural Variants of the Basic Immunoglobulin MoleculeDifferent heavy chains can be used
There are five major types of heavy chain --> five major classes (isotypes) of antibody - gamma --> IgG (in humans 4 subclasses: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4) - mu --> IgM - alpha --> IgA (in humans, 2 subclasses: IgA1, IgA2) - delta --> IgD - epsilon --> IgE The function of antibody varies depending on which heavy chain is used. IgG IgM IgA IgD IgERelative abundance in normal serum:
IgG8 - 16 mg/ml
IgA1.4 - 4 mg/ml
IgM0.5 - 2 mg/ml

Role of IgE in allergic reactions
IgE antibodies mediate the immediate-
hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions that are responsible for symptoms of hay fever, asthma, hives and anaphylactic shock.IgE binds to
Fc receptorson the
membranes of blood basophilsand tissue mast cells.Cross-linkageof receptor-bound IgE
molecules by antigen (allergen) induces degranulationof basophils and mast cells.A variety of pharmacologically active
mediators present in the granules are released, giving rise to allergic manifestations IgD - Role unknown - Present on the surface ofMATURE
B cells Marker!! - IgA and IgM are secreted across epithelial surfaces - IgG, IgD and IgE can be found only within the body - in serum or lymph. - IgA and IgM are also found in serum and lymph BUTIN ADDITION can also be found in
secretionssuch as mucous secretions, saliva and tears. - The IgA and IgM found in external secretions differs from that found in serum by the presence of an additional component referred to as the "secretory component". - This component is acquired as the IgA or IgM is transported across the epithelial cell barrier.SUMMARYAntigenic Determinants on
Immunoglobulins
• Abs are glycoproteins and themselves very immunogenic • Epitopes on immunoglobulins are divided into: - ISOTYPIC - ALLOTYPIC - IDIOTYPIC 6 The function of antibody varies depending on which heavy chain is used. Constant regiondeterminants that define each antibody class and subclass Allelic variation (Allotypes): IgG of a particular class may be slightly different between individuals ( e.g. variation in theIgG amino acid sequence)
Note: This type of variation has noeffect on antibody function. Generated by variation in amino acid sequence in the VHand VL. Most exactly, in the CDRs in the V regions
Variation in the antigen binding site(Idiotypes)
Remember: Idiotype = Ag binding site
RECAP - Sequence variation in antibodies:
1. Different light changes - no significant
functional effect2. Different heavy chains - very significant
functional effect - isotypic variation3. Allelic variation between individuals - no large
functional effect - allotypic variation4. Variation in the antigen-binding site -idiotypic
variationB Cell Receptor (BCR):
-Short cytoplasmic tail (3-28 aa) ....signaling?
-Signaling through a homodimer,Ig-αand Ig-β
- Ig molecule + Ig-α/Ig-βis the BCR - The homodimer molecule is member of the Ig superfamily groupIg Superfamily
• Divergence from a common gene ancestor coding for 110 aa. • A member MUST have a "typical" Ig domain or fold110 aa with an intra chain disulfide bond50-70 aa apart.
• Most members do not bind Ag!! Then, they must facilitate interaction with surface proteins • You must know members with roles in: a) immune function, b) Receptor/Signal transduction, and c)Adhesion
