The renal and hepatic distribution of Bence Jones proteins depends on glycosylation: a scintigraphic study in rats [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to evaluate renal and liver distribution of two monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains. The chains were purified individually from the urine of patients with multiple myeloma and characterized as lambda light chains with ...

The specificity of chain interactions among immunoglobulins. Combinations of γ chains with κ chains of the same subgroup as in the parent immunoglobulin G [PDF]
1. The specificity of combination of heavy and light chains from selected human immunoglobulins was examined in the light of greater structural information than in previous studies. Heavy (γ) chains from immunoglobulin G (κ) myeloma proteins were allowed to combine with their homologous light (κ) chains or with other κ chains of the same variable ...

Immunoglobulin G Biosynthesis in a Human Lymphoblastoid Cell Line [PDF]
The cultured human B lymphoblastoid cell line Maja synthesises two forms of the ‐γ heavy chain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) that differ in apparent molecular weight. The lower‐molecular‐weight form is secreted into the culture medium as a water‐soluble product in association with light chains and comigrates on dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gels with ...

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.

Lack of evidence for a substantial rate of templated mutagenesis in B cell diversification [PDF]
B cell receptor sequences diversify through mutations introduced by purpose-built cellular machinery. A recent paper has concluded that a "templated mutagenesis" process is a major contributor to somatic hypermutation, and therefore immunoglobulin diversification, in mice and humans.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

CD226+CD8+ T cells express elevated levels of RUNX2, exhibit higher proliferation capacity, cytokines and cytolytic molecules expression, and migratory capacity. In contrast, CD226−CD8+ T cells display an exhausted phenotype associated with the increased expression of co‐inhibitory receptors and impaired effector functions.

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...

Paired Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (PIR)-A Is Involved in Activating Mast Cells through Its Association with Fc Receptor γ Chain [PDF]
Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor (PIR)-A and PIR-B possess similar ectodomains with six immunoglobulin-like loops, but have distinct transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. PIR-B bears immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) sequences in its cytoplasmic domain that recruit Src homology (SH)2 domain–containing tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1

Abstract Defining the CSF cytokine/chemokine and injury biomarker signature of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) autoimmunity can inform immunopathogenesis. CSF GFAP‐IgG‐positive samples (N = 98) were tested for 17 cytokines/chemokines, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and GFAP (ELLA, Bio‐Techne).
