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

Heavy chain isotypes of low level monoclonal immunoglobulins are sometimes obscured in serum immunofixation electrophoresis (SIFE) by a heavy background of polyclonal immunoglobulins.

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

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.

Goodness‐of‐fit tests in proportional hazards models with random effects
Abstract This paper deals with testing the functional form of the covariate effects in a Cox proportional hazards model with random effects. We assume that the responses are clustered and incomplete due to right censoring. The estimation of the model under the null (parametric covariate effect) and the alternative (nonparametric effect) is performed ...

SYNTHESIS AND ASSEMBLY OF IMMUNOGLOBULINS BY MALIGNANT HUMAN PLASMACYTES [PDF]
Three basic patterns of γ-globulin synthesis are described in malignant human plasmacytes: extreme unbalanced synthesis where only L chains are synthesized; unbalanced synthesis in which intact γG globulin and an excess of free L chains are synthesized and secreted; and balanced synthesis where H and L chains appear to be synthesized in equimolar ...

A Case Report of Atypical Presentation of Multiple Myeloma on Serum Protein Electrophoresis [PDF]
Multiple myeloma is a group of B-cell disorders resulting in the secretion of a specific and unique monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein). Protein electrophoresis is advised whenever multiple myeloma is suspected.

Expression and Modulation of the Human Immunoglobulin A Fc Receptor (CD89) and the FcR γ Chain on Myeloid Cells in Blood and Tissue [PDF]
AbstractCD89, the human immunoglobulin A (IgA) Fc receptor (FcR), is a potential target for antibody‐based therapeutics, but little is known about its expression and modulation in vivo. In this study, we examined the expression pattern of CD89 and its signalling subunit, the FcR γ chain, on circulating myeloid cells and in various tissues.
