Genomic characterization of the T-cell receptor loci in Ambystoma mexicanum [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundAmphibians are valuable models for comparative immunology. In the caudate Ambystoma mexicanum, the architecture of immunoglobulin loci resembles that of the anuran Xenopus tropicalis, although some antibody gene features are absent.

Pattern of serum immunoglobulins and free light chain levels among patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma in Southeast Nigeria

International Journal of Medicine and Health Development, 2023
Background: Abnormal plasma cells in multiple myeloma produce excessive amounts of immunoglobulins and free light chains, of which certain patterns predict patient survival.

How Different Snacks Produce a Distinct Effect in Salivary Protein Composition

Molecules, 2021
Saliva secretion changes in response to different stimulation. Studies performed in animals and humans suggest that dietary constituents may influence saliva composition, although the dynamics of these changes, and how they are specific for each type of ...

Alpha Toxin Purification and Antibody Production Against Local Strain of Clostridium septicum NH2 [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND: Clostridium septicum has played a significant role as a causative agent of many acute fetal diseases in man and animals. Alpha- toxin is the main factor in the pathogenesis of C.

Complete amino acid sequence of a mouse immunoglobulin alpha chain (MOPC 511). [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1980
The complete amino acid sequence of the 432-residue heavy (alpha) chain of mouse myeloma MOPC 511 has been determined. The variable region of the alpha chain of IgA 511, a phosphocholine-binding protein, is highly homologous to that of the other phosphocholine-binding immunoglobulins. Comparison of the 511 alpha chain constant region with that of other

Evolution of surrogate light chain in tetrapods and the relationship between lengths of CDR H3 and VpreB tails

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
In the mammalian immune system, the surrogate light chain (SLC) shapes the antibody repertoire during B cell development by serving as a checkpoint for production of functional heavy chains (HC).

“Alpha Chain Disease” Protein Def: Internal Deletion of a Human Immunoglobulin A ₁ Heavy Chain [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
Protein Def is a human alpha chain disease protein related to α1 immunoglobulin heavy chain. The molecular weight of the polypeptide portion of the monomeric molecule is 29,300, which is a little greater than half of a normal α1 chain. The NH 2 -terminal of the polypeptide is heterogenous and, after a short segment ...

Intraspecies heterogeneity of immunoglobulin α‐chain constant region genes in rhesus macaques [PDF]

Immunology, 2001
SummaryImmunoglobulin A (IgA) is the major antibody class present in external secretions and is also an important component of serum immunoglobulins. On mucosal surfaces, IgA represents a first line of defence by neutralizing invading pathogens.

Human and rat mast cell high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptors: characterization of putative alpha-chain gene products. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1988
We have cloned and determined the entire nucleotide sequence of cDNAs corresponding to the putative alpha subunits of the human and rat mast cell high-affinity IgE receptors. Both human and rat cDNAs encode an NH2-terminal signal peptide, two immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains (encoded by discrete exons), a hydrophobic transmembrane region, and ...
