B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Significant differences in physicochemical properties of human immunoglobulin kappa and lambda CDR3 regions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Antibody variable regions are composed of a heavy and a light chain and in humans there are two light chain isotypes: kappa and lambda. Despite their importance in receptor editing, the light chain is often overlooked in the antibody literature, with the

A fast Myosin super enhancer dictates muscle fiber phenotype through competitive interactions with Myosin genes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The contractile properties of adult myofibers are shaped by their Myosin heavy chain isoform content. Here the authors show that a super enhancer controls the spatiotemporal expression of the genes at the fast myosin heavy chain locus by DNA looping and ...

Switching Heavy Chain Constant Domains Denatures the Paratope 3D Architecture of Influenza Monoclonal Antibodies

open access: yesPathogens, 2022
Several human monoclonal Abs for treating Influenza have been evaluated in clinical trials with limited success despite demonstrating superiority in preclinical animal models including mice.

Quantum reservoirs with ion chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ion chains are promising platforms for studying and simulating quantum reservoirs. One interesting feature is that their vibrational modes can mediate entanglement between two objects which are coupled through the vibrational modes of the chain.

Dynein modifiers in C. elegans: light chains suppress conditional heavy chain mutants. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2007
Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-dependent motor protein that functions in mitotic cells during centrosome separation, metaphase chromosome congression, anaphase spindle elongation, and chromosome segregation. Dynein is also utilized during interphase

The eIg technology to generate Ig-like bispecific antibodies

open access: yesmAbs, 2022
Bispecific antibodies have emerged as therapeutic molecules with a multitude of modes of action and applications. Here, we present a novel approach to solve the light-chain problem for the generation of bispecific Ig-like antibodies using the second ...

Gamma heavy chain disease [PDF]

open access: yesAtlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, 2018
Gamma heavy chain disease (HCD) is a rare variant of HCD, a family of syndromes associated with or representing a B cell malignancy variant. The hallmark characteristic and the pathogenic mechanism of HCD is the synthesis of a mutant, misfolded immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) incapable of either reaching a quaternary conformation with the ...

The thioredoxin‐like and one glutaredoxin domain are required to rescue the iron‐starvation phenotype of HeLa GLRX3 knock out cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.

Virus-transformed pre-B cells show ordered activation but not inactivation of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Virus-transformed pre-B cells undergo ordered immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements during culture. We devised a series of highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays for Ig gene rearrangement and unrearranged Ig gene segment transcription to ...
