| has gloss | eng: An idiotope is the unique set of antigenic determinants (epitopes) of the variable portion of an antibody. In some cases it can be the actual antigen-binding site, and in some cases it may comprise variable region sequences outside of the antigen-binding site on the antibody itself. Thus each antibody would have multiple idiotopes; and the sum of these individual idiotopes is termed the idiotype of the antibody. |
| lexicalization | eng: idiotopes |
| instance of | (noun) any of a large variety of proteins normally present in the body or produced in response to an antigen which it neutralizes, thus producing an immune response antibody |
