Basic Immunology
... • CH isotypes: called Ig classes and subclasses as IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE. All classes are represented in a normal serum (except the membrane bound IgD) as isotype variants. • CL chain exists in two isotypic forms: kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), which can associate with all heavy chain isotypes. ...
