In humans allotypes are encounteredwithin: IgG; IgA and light chains

All heavy chain genes are encoded

within the same locus, they are

inherited as a complex or haplotype

Regulation by Id/anti-Id

Each therapeutic antibody is structurally unique and has thepotential to provoke immune response in the recipients.

These antibodies are called anti-idiotypic antibodies and their

Generation depends on the patients genetic background, the

Disease treated, dosing regimen, etc.

In some cases anti-idiotypic antibodies stimulateB cells to make antibody. This approach can be

used as a vaccine
