What Is an Antibody Isotype?
Isotype: Ig antigen specificity common to all individuals in the same genus, which can induce the production of corresponding antibodies in the xenograft. Isotype antigen specificity is mainly located in the c region of Ig, including class and subclass, type and subtype.

- Immunological isotypes:
- An immunoglobulin isotype refers to a genetic change or difference in the type of immunoglobulin heavy chain.
- Humans have nine isotypes:
- Heavy chain -IgA 1, 2
- -IgD
- -IgG 1, 2, 3, 4
- -IgE
- -IgM
- Light chain
- lambda
- Immunoglobulin type switching can change the type of the heavy chain, but not the light chain.
