The human immune system can generate approximately 105 different heavy chains and approximately 103 light chains. Any light chain can pair with any heavy chain, so there are 108 different antibodies that are possible. Camels lack light chains but have approximately the same level of diversity, about 107 different antibodies. How do you think their heavy chain gene differs from humans?
Homework Answers
The only mammal with 2 heavy chain and no light chain in thier antibody is the camel and is called heavychain antibody.These antibodies are small in size because doesnt have light chain and one of their constant heavy chain and is replaced by extended heavy region.VHH have high solubility and stable and in this antibodies VHH is linked by CH2CH3 domain.The CDR3 region of heavy chain antibodies is extended.The heavy chain antibodies are evolved doue to convergent evolution.These heavy chain antibodies are gamma isotopes and are functional in antigen binding.

(Please justify your answer) The human immune system can generate approximately 10^5 different heavy chains and approximately 10^3 light chains. Any light chain can pair with any heavy chain, so there are 10^8 different antibodies that are possible. Camels lack light chains but have approximately the same level of diversity, about 10^7 different antibodies. How do you think their heavy chain gene differs from humans?

D 9. Which of the following is used to generate diversity in the antibody repertoire? Presence of multiple variable gene segments that can be assembled in multiple different combinations Addition of N nucleotides that are not encoded in the germ line Exonuclease trimming of excess nucleotides at variable segment junctions Ability to pair a single heavy chain with different light chains, so as to avoid generation of autoreactive antibodies All of the answers are correct.

The human genome contains about 20,000 genes, but the human body can generate over 100,000 different proteins. How is it possible that humans have so few genes but can generate so many proteins? A. Humans likely have over 100,000 genes, but many have yet to be identified B. mRNAs of different genes can recombine to generate many different proteins C. the majority of proteins found within a cell are acquired from the environment D. mutations in DNA generate many versions...
