Immunoglobulin Allotypes

Medical Definition: Hereditary serologic types based on antigenic differences in the light and heavy chains of immunoglobulins due to allelic genes in the gene loci coding the chains. The Inv system applies to the kappa light chains, the Gm system applies to the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.
Guide Notes: GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics; for defic see TN 225; Am allotype goes here (IM) + IMMUNOGLOBULIN A (IM); DF: IG ALLOTYPES
Also Called: kappa Allotype b4,kappa Allotypes
Previously Indexed: Alleles (1968-1974),Antibody Specificity (1970-1974),Antigenic Determinants (1970-1974),Immunoglobulins (1970-1974),Isoantibodies (1966-1974)
