Complementarity determining regions (CDR), are antibody or T cell receptor regions where the molecule complements an antigen's conformation. Thus, CDRs determine the molecule's specificity and make contact with a specific antigen. CDR1 and CDR2 are found in the variable (V) domain, and CDR3 includes some of V, all of diverse (D) (heavy chains only) and joint (J), and some of the constant (C) domains. CDR3 is the most variable.
A hypervariable domain, known for its unusually high level of sequence variation, exists as a flexible loop in CDR1. The hypervariable loops from each domain are brought together to create the antigen-binding site and thus determines the molecule's specificity.

What is a Chromosome complement?
A chromosome complement refers to the total number and types of chromosomes present in an individual's cells. It is specific to each species and can vary among different organisms. This complement plays a crucial role in determining an individual's genetic makeup and characteristics.
What is the process for determining the complement of a given DFA?
To determine the complement of a given DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton), you need to switch the accepting and non-accepting states. This means that any state that was originally an accepting state in the DFA becomes a non-accepting state in the complement, and vice versa. This process effectively flips the language recognized by the DFA to its complement.
The human tongue has many receptors specialized for?
The tongue's receptors are taste buds. They are specialized to detect flavors, and are divided into two types, sweet and bitter receptors. They can detect perceptions of flavors in five types; salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umani (savory).
Does hydrocodone relieve pain in a person who is also on methadone maintenance?
No. The methadone works by binding the opioid receptors in your body. Hydrocodone is a weakened opiate derivative and therefore the two will not complement each other.
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called?
The process by which the brain causes a sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors is called sensory localization. This involves the brain integrating sensory information from different receptors to create a coherent perception of the world around us, including determining the location of the source of a sensation.

What is an example of an immunity?
Examples of innate immunity include anatomical barriers, mechanical removal, bacterial antagonism, pattern-recognition receptors, antigen-nonspecific defense chemicals, the complement pathways, phagocytosis, inflammation, and fever.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
What function of the gustatory receptors are parallel to what other receptors?
Olfactory receptors
Are there more cold receptors or warm receptors in the skin?
There are more cold receptors in the skin than warm receptors.
Receptors for taste and olfaction are classified as?
Receptors for taste are classified as gustatory receptors, while receptors for olfaction are classified as olfactory receptors. Gustatory receptors are found on taste buds located on the tongue, while olfactory receptors are found in the nasal cavity.
The basic determinating feature of antigenic specificity is ...........?
The basic determining feature of antigenic specificity is the unique structure of antigenic epitopes, which are the specific regions on an antigen recognized by antibodies or T cell receptors. These epitopes interact with corresponding binding sites on antibodies or T cell receptors, leading to the immune response against the antigen.
