Description

pe space is so large that it virtually guarantees, statistically, that two randomly chosen antibodies in an immune repertoire will share many common epitopes in their binding spaces–conservatively, ≈ 106 to 1016 protein or peptide epitopes, on average (Results Section 3.5), although this is a very small fraction of the total size of the relevant epitope space.”
