Two Cases of Heavy Chain MGUS [PDF]

Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, 2016
Heavy chain diseases are rare variants of B-cell lymphomas that produce one of three classes of immunoglobulin heavy chains, without corresponding light chains. We describe two patients with asymptomatic heavy chain monoclonal gammopathy.

Immunoglobulin heavy chain exclusion in the shark. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
The adaptive immune system depends on specific antigen receptors, immunoglobulins (Ig) in B lymphocytes and T cell receptors (TCR) in T lymphocytes.

Ramifications of the HLA-I Allelic Reactivity of Anti-HLA-E*01:01 and Anti-HLA-E*01:03 Heavy Chain Monoclonal Antibodies in Comparison with Anti-HLA-I IgG Reactivity in Non-Alloimmunized Males, Melanoma-Vaccine Recipients, and End-Stage Renal Disease Patients

Antibodies, 2022
Serum anti-HLA-I IgG are present in non-alloimmunized males, cancer patients, and transplant recipients. Anti-HLA-I antibodies are also present in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), prepared from the plasma of thousands of healthy donors.

Four Faces of Cell-Surface HLA Class-I: Their Antigenic and Immunogenic Divergence Generating Novel Targets for Vaccines

Vaccines, 2022
Leukocyte cell-surface HLA-I molecules, involved in antigen presentation of peptides to CD8+ T-cells, consist of a heavy chain (HC) non-covalently linked to β2-microglobulin (β2m) (Face-1).

Maturation of the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Repertoire With Age

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
B cells play a central role in adaptive immune processes, mainly through the production of antibodies. The maturation of the B cell system with age is poorly studied.

The validation of artificial anti‐monkeypox antibodies by in silico and experimental approaches

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2023
As a result of smallpox immunization programs that ended more than 40 years ago, a significant portion of the world's population is not immune. Moreover, due to the lack of anti‐monkeypox drugs and vaccines against monkeypox, the spread of this virus may

Mu heavy chain disease with MYD88 L265P mutation: an unusual manifestation of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma

Diagnostic Pathology, 2022
Background Mu heavy chain disease is a rare lymphoid neoplasm characterized by vacuolated bone marrow plasma cells and secretion of defective mu immunoglobulin heavy chains. The biological basis of mu heavy chain disease is poorly understood.

Clathrin heavy chain is important for viability, oviposition, embryogenesis and, possibly, systemic RNAi response in the predatory mite Metaseiulus occidentalis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Clathrin heavy chain has been shown to be important for viability, embryogenesis, and RNA interference (RNAi) in arthropods such as Drosophila melanogaster.

The immunoglobulin A isotype of the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) preserves the dualistic structure of unconventional single-domain and canonical heavy chains

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe evolution of adaptive immunity in Camelidae resulted in the concurrent expression of classic heterotetrameric and unconventional homodimeric heavy chain-only IgG antibodies.
