The V_H gene repertoire of splenic B cells and somatic hypermutation in systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

, 2003
In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) it has been hypothesized that self-reactive B cells arise from virgin B cells that express low-affinity, nonpathogenic germline V genes that are cross-reactive for self and microbial antigens, which convert to high ...

Analysis of Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor Genes in Colorectal Cancer

Cells, 2020
Natural killer cells (NK cells) play a major role in the immune response to cancer. An important element of NK target recognition is the binding of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules by killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). Colorectal

Germline polymorphisms and alternative splicing of human immunoglobulin light chain genes

iScience, 2021
Summary: Inference of germline polymorphisms in immunoglobulin genes from B cell receptor repertoires is complicated by somatic hypermutations, sequencing/PCR errors, and by varying length of reference alleles.

Biased Immunoglobulin Genes Rearrangement in Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Hints to Identify the Normal B-cell Counterpart

Cancer Biology & Medicine, 2011
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, originating from naı ¨ve B-cells. The blastoid MCL tumors often show complex cytogenetic aberrations. In this review, we summarized the data available on immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH)

Intra- and interchromosomal contact mapping reveals the Igh locus has extensive conformational heterogeneity and interacts with B-lineage genes

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: To produce a diverse antibody repertoire, immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) loci undergo large-scale alterations in structure to facilitate juxtaposition and recombination of spatially separated variable (VH), diversity (DH), and joining (JH ...

C-myc and immunoglobulin kappa light chain constant genes are on the 8q+ chromosome of three Burkitt lymphoma lines with t(2;8) translocations [PDF]

, 1984
We have determined the localization of c-myc and the immunoglobulin kappa light chain genes on the 8q+/2p- chromosomes of the three Burkitt lymphoma lines BL21, LY66 and LY91 with t(2;8) translocation by in situ hybridization.

IgA in the horse: cloning of equine polymeric Ig receptor and J chain and characterization of recombinant forms of equine IgA [PDF]

, 2010
As in other mammals, immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the horse has a key role in immune defense. To better dissect equine IgA function, we isolated complementary DNA (cDNA) clones for equine J chain and polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR).

Gene expression profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with common variable immunodeficiency: modulation of adaptive immune response following intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundRegular intravenous immunoglobulin treatment is used to replace antibody deficiency in primary immunodeficiency diseases; however the therapeutic effect seems to be related not only to antibody replacement but also to an active role in the ...

Temporal Changes in Total Serum Immunoglobulin E Levels in East German Children and the Effect of Potential Predictors [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are a prominent feature of allergic and parasitic diseases. An epidemiologic study was conducted in East German children to describe trends in the development of total serum IgE levels and ...

Decreased mutation frequencies among immunoglobulin G variable region genes during viremic HIV-1 infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
HIV-1 infection is complicated by high rates of opportunistic infections against which specific antibodies contribute to immune defense. Antibody function depends on somatic hypermutation (SHM) of variable regions of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes (VH ...
