As a result of this combination, 8262*200*124, which approximately equates to 10⁸ different antigen-binding sites, can be generated.Īfter that, the free 3’OH group of the cut DNA attacks the phosphodiester bond linking the opposite strand to the signal sequence, thus forming a hairpin-like structure at the cut end of the coding sequence of the V and J segment. Since it is the variable region in the light and heavy chain that together form the antigen-binding site, combining a heavy chain with any of the two light chains further leads to diversity in an antibody. On the other hand, the 31 Vƛ gene segments can combine with any of the 4 Jƛ gene segments to generate 31*4=124 possible combinations of the ƛ light chain variable region. Similarly, in κ light chain, 40 Vκ gene segments can randomly combine with any of the 5 Jκ gene segments and therefore has the potential to generate 40*5=200 possible combinations of κ light chain variable region. It allows 51*27*6= 8262 possible combinations of the heavy chain variable region that significantly contributes to the generation of the heavy chain diversity. For instance, in the heavy chain locus, 51 VH gene segments can combine with any of the 27 DH gene segments and any of the 6 JH gene segments. The presence of multiple germline V, D and J gene segments and their random rearrangement contribute to the diversity of antigen-binding sites in an antibody molecule. In humans, there are 51 VH, 27 DH and 6 JH gene segments for immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region and 31 Vƛ, 4 Jƛ, 40 Vκ and 5 Jκ gene segments for immunoglobulin light chain variable regions. The first source is the presence of multiple V, D, and J segments in germline DNA. There are various sources that generate diversity in antibody molecules because of which they can do so. The antibody repertoire has the specificity to recognize more than 100 million different antigen molecules. Previous parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8

Unless specified otherwise, MP Biomedical's products are for research or further manufacturing use only, not for direct human use. It may also be used for the rapid determination of the bacteriological quality of water.
The medium promotes abundant growth of fastidious microorganisms without the necessity of adding serum and other materials. Tryptic Soy Broth is used for the cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms.Tryptic Soy Broth is a highly nutritive and very versatile medium recommended for general use in the laboratory. Because of its nutritional capabilities it can be used as an enrichment broth and as a blood culture medium. It can support the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms including aerobes, anaerobes and fungi.
The inclusion of casein peptone and soy peptone to the formula enhances the growth of many fastidious microorganisms without the addition of blood or serum. Tryptic Soy Broth is used for the cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms.
