Triple immunoglobulin gene knockout transchromosomic cattle: bovine lambda cluster deletion and its effect on fully human polyclonal antibody production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Towards the goal of producing fully human polyclonal antibodies (hpAbs or hIgGs) in transchromosomic (Tc) cattle, we previously reported that Tc cattle carrying a human artificial chromosome (HAC) comprising the entire unrearranged human immunoglobulin ...

Learning the statistics and landscape of somatic mutation-induced insertions and deletions in antibodies [PDF]
, 2021 Affinity maturation is crucial for improving the binding affinity of antibodies to antigens. This process is mainly driven by point substitutions caused by somatic hypermutations of the immunoglobulin gene. It also includes deletions and insertions of genomic material known as indels.

Expansion of the preimmune antibody repertoire by junctional diversity in Bos taurus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cattle have a limited range of immunoglobulin genes which are further diversified by antigen independent somatic hypermutation in fetuses. Junctional diversity generated during somatic recombination contributes to antibody diversity but its relative ...

Spin chain on a metallic surface: Dissipation-induced order vs. Kondo entanglement [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 106, L161103 (2022), 2022 We explore the physics of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with Kondo interaction, $J_k$, to a two-dimensional electron gas. At weak $J_k$ the problem maps onto a Heisenberg chain locally coupled to a dissipative Ohmic bath. At the decoupled fixed point, the dissipation is a marginally relevant perturbation and drives long-range antiferromagnetic order ...

BioTechniques, 2021 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune disease characterized by renal glomerular immunodeposits enriched for galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1; autoantigen) with the corresponding IgG autoantibodies.

Distribution of immunoglobulin heavy chains in diseased synovia. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1986 Synovium from 142 patients with 12 different arthropathies was examined for the distribution of alpha, delta, gamma, and mu immunoglobulin heavy chains. A high proportion of plasma cells in the superficial subintima in all diseases reacted for alpha heavy chains. Only in rheumatoid disease did the synovium contain more than 10% of plasma cells reacting

BMC Nephrology, 2018 Background Immunoglobulin heavy-and-light-chain amyloidosis (AHL amyloidosis) is a newly established disease entity where both the immunoglobulin heavy-chain and light-chain compose amyloid fibrils. The immunoglobulins responsible for the amyloid fibrils

Expression of combinatorial immunoglobulins in macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Recent evidence indicates the presence of macrophage subpopulations that express the TCRαβ in chronic inflammatory diseases such as tuberculosis and atherosclerosis and in the tumor microenvironment.
