Length distribution of CDRH3 in antibodies
Abstract
Sequences of the third complementarity determining region of antibody heavy chains (CDRH3s) are listed according to their length. Human sequences vary from 2 to 26 amino acids residues, but less extensively in other species. When combined with the other five complementarity determining regions, this enormous length variation of CDRH3, together with amino acid substitutions in their sequences, can provide a very large number of antibody specificities and can influence the shape of antibody combining sites.©1993 Wiley‐Liss,Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
