Information

Each column shows the extent of antigen contact at each antibody residue for a different antibody (see key below for full pdb codes).

+ indicates an antigen contact
- indicates no antigen contact
. indicates no residue exists in that position in that antibody

Summaries are given for each CDR, where a '+' indicates that at least one residue from the CDR is involved in antigen recognition in that particular antibody.

Non-CDR residue data is shown in parentheses.

Rules governing the use of CDRs and individual residues may be constructed from this data, for example from the CDR summaries:

CDR-L1      +++++-++++-++++++++++++-++
CDR-H1      +-+++++--+++++++++++++++++

we can state that in any antibody EITHER CDR-L1 OR CDR-H1 will make at least one antigen contact.

Note that numbering follows the Chothia scheme.

Methods

CDR definitions and antigen contact criteria are given in the following reference: MacCallum R.M., Martin A.C.R. and Thornton J.M (1996), Journal of Molecular Biology, 262:732-745

The CDR definitions (based on antigen contacts) are also available here.
