About this 3D model

Model of an antibody-antigen complex (surface representation). "An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody These models consist of fragments of a mouse IGG Fab antibody "heavy chain" (Orange) , antibody "light chain" (Blue), and the antigen, hen egg-white lysozyme (Green). Model based on the Protein Data Bank entry 1YQV: http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1yqv STL file created using VMD: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/
