Scope note: Fragmentos univalentes de unión a antígeno compuesta de una CADENA LIGERA DE INMUNOGLOBULINA entera y el extremo amino terminal de una de las CADENAS PESADAS DE LAS INMUNOGLOBULINAS desde la región bisagra, unidas entre sí por puentes disulfuro. Fab contiene las REGIONES VARIABLES DE LAS INMUNOGLOBULINAS, que son parte del sitio de unión a antígeno, y las REGIONES CONSTANTES DE LAS INMUNOGLOBULINAS. Puede obtenerse este fragmento por digestión de las inmunoglobulinas obtenida con la enzima proteolítica PAPAÍNA.

Scope note: Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.
