Abstract
⺠We characterize the immunoglobulin repertoire of spiny dogfish. ⺠Ig isotypes and isoforms are highly conserved across the cartilaginous fish. ⺠Spiny dogfish serum IgNAR is found in a previously unknown multimeric format. ⺠Spiny dogfish and nurse shark express an isoform of IgW lacking a variable domain.
