Immunoglobulin heavy/light chain ratios improve paraprotein detection and monitoring, identify residual disease and correlate with survival in multiple myeloma patients

Leukemia, 2012
The novel heavy/light chain (HLC) assay was used for the detection and measurement of monoclonal immunoglobulins, response evaluation and prognostication.

Polymorphism in immunoglobulin heavy chains suggesting gene conversion. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982
Complete heavy (H) chain variable region (V region; amino acids 1-118) sequences have been determined for three phosphocholine (PCho)-binding monoclonal antibodies of CBA mouse strain origin. Two of these were found to differ from the sequence of the BALB/c T15 germline VH segment (segment of the V region that includes amino acids 1-95) at four ...

Antitumoral Efficacy of AuNRs‐Laden ECFCs In Vitro and In Vivo: Decoding the Heat and Rays Combo Treatment in Breast Cancer and Melanoma Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) acted as cellular cyborgs, stealthily transporting gold nanorods (AuNRs) into tumors to enable targeted near‐infrared (NIR) hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy. This approach triggers ferroptosis in melanoma and inhibits autophagy in breast cancer, revealing a tumor‐specific response to nanomaterial‐assisted

Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modern biosensors offer high sensitivity but often struggle with long‐term stability and selectivity for specific targets. Antifouling polymer brushes help enhance both stability and selectivity. In this review, we compare recent antifouling coatings, their design parameters, and how they are integrated with biorecognition elements for improved ...

Leveraging Design of Experiments to Unravel the Amplification Mechanism of Single‐Molecule Wide‐Field Biosensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Detecting single molecules on large interfaces is challenging due to minimal perturbations on the sensing surface. Some biological systems achieve this feat using amplification mechanisms, but their molecular foundations remain unclear. To investigate, a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach examines how pH and ionic strength in conditioning solutions ...

A comprehensive analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes in the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2015
Heavy chain only antibodies (HCAbs) represent a rare type of antibody that is devoid of light chains and the CH1 domain that have been reported in cartilaginous fish and camelids.

Artificial immunoglobulin light chain with potential to associate with a wide variety of immunoglobulin heavy chains

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2019
Immunoglobulins play important roles in antigen recognition during the immune response, and the complementarity-determining region (CDR) 3 of the heavy chain is considered as the critical antigen-binding site. We previously developed a statistical protocol for the extensive analysis of heavy chain variable region repertoires and the dynamics of their ...

Mechanical Interactions Impact the Functions of Immune Cells and Their Application in Immunoengineering

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This review covers the mechanical forces experienced by immune cells through cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions and how these forces influence their receptors and functions. These relationships between forces and cellular functions can be exploited using engineering techniques to modify the physical properties of materials for novel ...
