Fish Immunoglobulins [PDF]

Biology, 2016
The B cell receptor and secreted antibody are at the nexus of humoral adaptive immunity. In this review, we summarize what is known of the immunoglobulin genes of jawed cartilaginous and bony fishes. We focus on what has been learned from genomic or cDNA sequence data, but where appropriate draw upon protein, immunization, affinity and structural ...

Effect of hand-held mobile phones on the parotid gland: A cross sectional study

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2020
Background: The mobile phones widely used today uses electromagnetic radiations for signal transmission. These radiations have been speculated to cause pathological changes, especially in the salivary glands.

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]

eLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017
Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Direct and simultaneous measurement of the stiffness and internal friction of a single folded protein [PDF]

J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2022 13 9473-9479, 2022
The nanomechanical response of a folded single protein, the natural nanomachine responsible for myriad biological processes, provides insight into its function. The conformational flexibility of a folded state, characterized by its viscoelasticity, allows proteins to adopt different shapes to perform their function.

Estimation and correlation of serum and salivary glucose and immunoglobulin A levels and salivary candidal carriage in diabetic and non-diabetic patients [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2020
Background. A correlation has been noted between diabetes mellitus (DM) and changes in the oral cavity. The present study aimed to estimate, compare, and correlate serum and salivary glucose and IgA levels and salivary candidal carriage in diabetic and ...

Per-sample immunoglobulin germline inference from B cell receptor deep sequencing data [PDF]

PLoS Comput Biol 15(7): e1007133 (2019), 2017
The collection of immunoglobulin genes in an individual's germline, which gives rise to B cell receptors via recombination, is known to vary significantly across individuals. In humans, for example, each individual has only a fraction of the several hundred known V alleles.

Differences in the immunoglobulin gene repertoires of IgG versus IgA multiple myeloma allude to distinct immunopathogenetic trajectories

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
The analysis of the immunogenetic background of multiple myeloma (MM) has proven key to understanding disease ontogeny. However, limited information is available regarding the immunoglobulin (IG) gene repertoire in MM cases carrying different heavy chain

A Novel Immunoglobulin-Immunoglobulin Interaction in Autoimmunity

PLoS ONE, 2008
Well over six decades since its first description, the Rheumatoid Factor (RF)-autoantibodies recognizing Fc (constant) portion of IgG through their own Fab (antigen binding variable segments)-is believed to have come of age. Autoimmune pancreatitis is a unique form of pancreatitis, biologically characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 concentration ...

Changes in IgA-targeted microbiota following fecal transplantation for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection

Gut Microbes, 2021
Secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) interacts with intestinal microbiota and promotes mucosal homeostasis. IgA-bacteria interactions are altered during inflammatory diseases, but how these interactions are shaped by bacterial, host, and environmental ...
