- Quick intro:
- An Antibody is composed of Heavy and Light Chains
- Somehow we think that the heavy chains are more important
- The heavy chains are encoded by one of the few loci that can recombine somatically, the [1]
- There are five different types of antibodies. Somehow we assume that only [2] is important
