Variable Light-Chain Antibody Domain

thingiverse

A variable light-chain domain model from mouse binds to hen egg-white lysozyme; this Y-shaped immunoglobulin protein, also called an antibody, is produced by B cells for immune defense against foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. Immunoglobulin repeats are found in various antibodies, with variable IG domains binding to target antigens. In the model, antigen-binding residues are represented as spheres; based on PDB entry 1YQV, created using VMD for STL file generation and printed by a Replicator 2 with MakerWare 2.2.2.89 in standard resolution (3 shells, 25% infill) with raft and supports.
