Isotypes of Immunoglobulins IgG IgA The genes for isotypic variants are present in all healthy members of a species. For examples, the genes forγ1, γ2,γ3,γ4, , α1,α2,δ, , and chains are all present in the human genome and therefore isotypes.
Allotypes of Immunoglobulins IgG IgG Genetic variation between individuals within a species, involving different alleles at a given locus. Allotypes occur mostly as variants of H chain C region.
Idiotypes of Immunoglobulins IgG IgG Variation in the variable domain, particularly in the hypervariable regions, produces idiotypes, which determine the binding specificity of the antigen-binding site. Idiotypes are usually specific for individual B-cell clone (private idiotypes ), but are sometimes shared between different B-cell clones (public, cross-reacting or recurrent idiotypes)
