clo·no·type (kloґno-tīp) [clone + type] a particular combination of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, e.g., that produced by a single clone of plasma cells. A single organism produces a repertoire of about 107 to 108 clonotypes; a single antigenic determinant may react with 103 to 104 clonotypes.
