Maturation of the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Repertoire With Age [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 B cells play a central role in adaptive immune processes, mainly through the production of antibodies. The maturation of the B cell system with age is poorly studied.

Genetic variation in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus shapes the human antibody repertoire. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Variation in the antibody response has been linked to differential outcomes in disease, and suboptimal vaccine and therapeutic responsiveness, the determinants of which have not been fully elucidated.

A Novel Framework for Characterizing Genomic Haplotype Diversity in the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Locus. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2020 An incomplete ascertainment of genetic variation within the highly polymorphic immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) has hindered our ability to define genetic factors that influence antibody and B cell mediated processes.

Computational Inference, Validation, and Analysis of 5’UTR-Leader Sequences of Alleles of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Genes [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Upstream and downstream sequences of immunoglobulin genes may affect the expression of such genes. However, these sequences are rarely studied or characterized in most studies of immunoglobulin repertoires. Inference from large, rearranged immunoglobulin

A novel liver-specific immunoglobulin heavy chain-like gene in a cartilaginous fish [PDF]
Fish and Shellfish Immunology Reports, 2023 We identified a novel immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain-like gene (tsIgH) expressed in the liver of the banded houndshark Triakis scyllium by preliminary transcriptomic analysis.

Organization of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes and allelic deletion model. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1978 We have assessed the number of times the gene sequence encoding constant regions of mouse immunoglobulin heavy chains gamma1, gamma2a, and gamma3 are represented in the mouse genome by hybridization kinetic analysis.

Monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement in Fuchs’ uveitis [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2018 Background Fuchs’ uveitis (FU) is occasionarlly complicated with heavy vitreous opacity. We have performed vitrectomy procedures to remove vitreous opacity in affected patients as part of differential diagnosis for primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL ...
