Description: Types of monoclonal antibodies with other structures than naturally occurring antibodies. Top row: monospecific antibodies (fragment antigen-binding, F(ab')2 fragment, Fab' fragment, single-chain variable fragment, di-scFv, single domain antibody) Bottom row: bispecific antibodies (trifunctional antibody, chemically linked F(ab')2, bi-specific T-cell engager) Legend: Heavy chains have a darker shade, light chains a lighter one. Parts of antibodies with different targets are coloured differently. Constant regions are shown as regular round-edged boxes, variable regions as boxes with an irregularly shaped end. Artificial links between fragments are coloured red.
