==Overview==
==Overview==
Cartilaginous fish are the phylogenetically oldest living organisms known, to possess components of the vertebrate adaptive immune system. Key to, their immune response are heavy-chain, homodimeric immunoglobulins called, new antigen receptors (IgNARs), in which the variable (V) domains, recognize antigens with only a single immunoglobulin domain, akin to, camelid heavy-chain V domains. The 1.45 angstrom resolution crystal, structure of the type I IgNAR V domain in complex with hen egg-white, lysozyme (HEL) reveals a minimal antigen-binding domain that contains only, two of the three conventional complementarity-determining regions but, still binds HEL with nanomolar affinity by means of a binding interface, comparable in size to conventional antibodies.
