Which of the following is responsible for the immense diversity of antibodies?
A)recombination of introns
B)recombination of exons
C)variable domain recombination
D)epitope recombination
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The immense diversity of antibodies is due to the recombination of exons during the development of B cells. The variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) regions of the antibody genes are rearranged, leading to a unique amino acid sequence in the antigen-binding region of each antibody. Recombination of introns, variable domain recombination, and epitope recombination are not responsible for the diversity of antibodies.
