longer ones a protrusion. Length distributions for human and mouse
CDRHS's are illustrated in Fig. 1-10. In our database available from the
website <http://immuno.bme.nwu.edu> (Johnson and Wu, 2000), we have
collected a total of over 2,500 complete and distinct sequences of human
and mouse CDRH3's each. Interestingly enough, there is only one complete
amino acid sequence of CDRH3 shared by human and mouse. It is:
Gly Leu Ser Gly Phe Asp Tyr
Their nucleotide sequences are different. Are CDRH3's species-specific?
We do not know.
