Multiple paths to multispecificity
Abstract
The limited primary antibody repertoire uses multiple mechanisms to account for the large number of potential antigens. In this issue of Immunity, Sethi et al. (2006) describe a new means for expanding the antibody repertoire, whereby a single antibody isomer binds diverse antigens at different regions of the binding site.
