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 ...

Clathrin structure characterized with monoclonal antibodies. I. Analysis of multiple antigenic sites. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Three monoclonal antibodies that react with previously undefined antigenic determinants on the clathrin molecule have been produced and characterized. They were isolated from a fusion between myeloma cells and popliteal lymphocytes from SJL mice that had

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 ...

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Non-functional immunoglobulin G transcripts in a case of hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome similar to type 4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
86% of immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy-chain gene transcripts were found to be non-functional in the peripheral blood B cells of a patient initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency, who later developed raised IgM, whereas no non-functionally

Sex differences in skeletal muscle size, function, and myosin heavy chain isoform expression during post‐injury regeneration in mice

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
Skeletal muscle regeneration is an essential process to restore muscle function after injury and is influenced by various factors. Despite the known importance of sex hormones in muscle regeneration, whether and what sex difference exists in this process

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 ...
