In immunology, an immunoglobulin allotype is the allele of the antibody chains found in the individual. The word allotype comes from two Greek roots, ''allo ''meaning 'other or differing from the norm' and ''typos ''meaning 'mark.' Thus allotype refers to the idea that each immunoglobin has unique sequences particular to the individual's genome that manifest in its constant region (normally). The most important types are Gm (heavy chain) and km (light chain). It can be used in resolving paternity disputes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF IMMUNOGLOBULINS - ANTIBODIES )〕 ==See also== * isotype * idiotype * allotype 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allotype (immunology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
