Immune subtraction for improved resolution in serum protein immunofixation electrophoresis and antibody isotype determination in a patient with autoantibody

Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2021
Heavy chain isotypes of low level monoclonal immunoglobulins are sometimes obscured in serum immunofixation electrophoresis (SIFE) by a heavy background of polyclonal immunoglobulins.

Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis: 2022 update on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment

American journal of hematology/oncology, 2022
Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is a clonal, nonproliferative plasma cell disorder in which fragments of immunoglobulin light or heavy chain are deposited in tissues.

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 ...

AL amyloidosis with non-amyloid forming monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition; a case mimicking AHL amyloidosis

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

Assigning immunoglobulin class from single-cell transcriptomes in IgA1-secreting versus membrane subpopulations

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

Virus-transformed pre-B cells show ordered activation but not inactivation of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and transcription [PDF]

, 1991
Virus-transformed pre-B cells undergo ordered immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements during culture. We devised a series of highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays for Ig gene rearrangement and unrearranged Ig gene segment transcription to ...

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.
