Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Gamma Chain Polymorphisms: Molecular Confirmation Of Proteomic Assessment [PDF]
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) proteins are known for the huge diversity of the variable domains of their heavy and light chains, aimed at protecting each individual against foreign antigens. The IgG also harbor specific polymorphism concentrated in the CH2 and CH3-CHS constant regions located on the Fc fragment of their heavy chains.

mRNA for surface immunoglobulin gamma chains encodes a highly conserved transmembrane sequence and a 28-residue intracellular domain. [PDF]
To probe the structure of the gamma heavy chain of membrane IgG and the mRNA and gene segments that encode it, we have analyzed cDNA clones derived from a gamma 1 membrane RNA of B lymphoma 2PK-3. The nucleotide sequence of the clones indicated that membrane gamma 1 chains bear a COOH-terminal 71-residue segment that is absent from secretory gamma 1 ...

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 ...

The gamma chain of the high affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E is a member of the T-cell antigen receptor zeta chain family and a functional subunit common to both T-cell and Fc receptors. Here we report that the gamma chain is phosphorylated on threonine in response to protein kinase C activation.

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 ...

We are investigating the role of gamma-chain in functions mediated by the high affinity Fc receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RI). In a previous study, we found that gamma-chain, which is a member of the family of zeta-chain proteins, associates with Fc gamma RI.

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

Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) were found when BamHI, PvuII and HindIII digested horse genomic DNA was probed with an insert containing the gene sequences for human immunoglobul in gamma‐4 constant region. Family studies demonstrated that BamHI RFLPs of 5.1 and 4.8 KB represented allelic genes.
