An idiotope is the unique set of
antigenic determinants of the variable portion of an
antibody. In some cases it can be the actual antigen-binding site, and in some cases it may comprise variable region sequences outside of the antigen-binding site on the antibody itself. Thus each antibody would have multiple idiotopes; and the sum of these individual idiotopes is called as the idiotype of the antibody.
