Diagnosing a Challenging Case of Primary Amyloidosis using Capillary Electrophoresis [PDF]
Amyloid Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterised by deposition of intact free light chains or their fragments in extracellular space. Here, authors describe the journey of a diagnostically challenging patient who presented with features of ...

Discrete analysis of camelid variable domains: sequences, structures, and in-silico structure prediction [PDF]
Antigen binding by antibodies requires precise orientation of the complementarity- determining region (CDR) loops in the variable domain to establish the correct contact surface.

Concerted evolution of the mouse immunoglobulin gamma chain genes. [PDF]
The nucleotide sequences of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant region genes of mouse, C gamma 3, C gamma 1, C gamma 2b and C gamma 2a, together with that of a human equivalent C gamma 4 were compared. All the six pairs of genes within the mouse C gamma gene family contain DNA segments that exhibit marked homology, whereas no such segmental ...

Nucleotide sequences of gene segments encoding membrane domains of immunoglobulin gamma chains. [PDF]
The nucleotide sequences of the exons encoding membrane-bound IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b of mouse were determined and compared with the sequence of membrane-bound IgM. The sequences indicate that membrane-bound gamma chains bear an additional 71 residues at the COOH termini, including 17-residue acidic, 26-residue hydrophobic, and 28 residue hydrophilic ...

Tailor-making a protein a-derived domain for efficient site-specific photocoupling to Fc of mouse IgG₁. [PDF]
Affinity proteins binding to antibody constant regions have proved to be invaluable tools in biotechnology. Here, protein engineering was used to expand the repertoire of available immunoglobulin binding proteins via improvement of the binding strength ...

Changes in Serum and Salivary Proteins in Canine Mammary Tumors
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in serum and saliva proteomes in canine mammary tumors (CMT) using a high-throughput quantitative proteomic analysis in order to potentially discover possible biomarkers of this disease.

Ultrastructural localization of gamma-chain and immunoglobulin G in human lymphocytes using enzyme-labeled Fab fragment. [PDF]
By the use of rabbit antibodies against the heavy chain of human immunoglobulin G (IgG), the gamma-chain and IgG molecules were successfully localized at the ultrastructural level in human peripheral lymphocytes. The rabbit Fab fragment was coupled to horseradish peroxidase by means of glutaraldehyde and the resulting conjugate could penetrate the ...
