在哺乳动物中,抗体的组成和结构非常保守。 近年来报道的,有三种和传统抗体四聚体不同的重链抗体,不含有轻链: ① 重链抗体病,患者血清中存在大量无功能活性的重链抗体,抗体缺失VH和CH1区域。 ② 在驼类的血清中发现天然缺失轻链的重链抗体,在体液免疫中起到重要作用。 ③ The genetic evidence indicates that
the origin of HCAbs is not to be found in remnants of a putative
primordial HCAb form but that they are apparently the outcome
of more recent adaptive changes occurring in the compartment of
the conventional antibodies within the Camelidae lineage (11).
The third type of heavy chain-only antibodies is occurring naturally in shark (12) (see Chapter 3)
