Question

Difference between idiotype and genotype improvement in wheat crop

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Idiotype means that an individual differing from immunoglobulin molecule produced by B cells whose variable region has different antigen specificity. Thus it is called idiotype. The idiotypic epitopes are mainly determined by the differences of amino acid in hypervariable regions.

In the middle of last century, people found that injecting allogeneic or xenogeneic Ig into an animal could induce anti-Ig antisera. Then, Ig molecules were found two kinds of epitopes, i.e., isoforms and allotypes.
