Antigen binding characteristics of immunoglobulin free light chains: crosslinking by antigen is essential to induce allergic inflammation. [PDF]
Beside the production of complete immunoglobulins IgG, IgE, IgA, IgM and IgD, consisting of tetrameric heterodimers of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, B cells also secrete immunoglobulin free light chains (Ig-fLC).

Albumin Corona Overturns Long‐Acting Behaviors of Myristic Acid‐Conjugated Quetiapine Nanosuspension
Albumin corona alters surface properties and enhances colloidal stability by overturning pH responsiveness and nano‐aggregation behaviors of long‐acting myristic acid‐conjugated quetiapine nanosuspensions (QMN), resulting in accelerated in vitro and in vivo drug release.

Depletion of conventional mature B cells and compromised specific antibody response in bovine immunoglobulin μ heavy-chain transgenic mice [PDF]
In this study, we introduced the bovine immunoglobulin μ heavy-chain gene (the orphaned gene on BTA11) into mouse germline cells. Bovine IgM was highly expressed in selected transgenic lines, and it largely inhibited rearrangements of the endogenous ...

Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces
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 ...

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

Poultry immunoglobulin genes undergo diversification through homologous recombination (HR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). Most animals share a similar system in immunoglobulin diversification, with the rare exception that human and murine ...

A Low-temperature 1H NMR Study of H2O and D2O Associated Competitively with Immunoglobulin G in Solution [PDF]
An approach has been proposed to characterize the competitive association of D2O and to study the heterogeneity of hydration water adsorbed by the protein, immunoglobulin G, using methodology for determining of non-freezing water in mixed H2O-D2O protein solutions by low-temperature 1H NMR technique. Direct data on the numbers of deuteriums adsorbed by

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 ...

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 ...

Next generation Fc scaffold for multispecific antibodies
Summary: Bispecific antibodies (Bispecifics) demonstrate exceptional clinical potential to address some of the most complex diseases. However, Bispecific production in a single cell often requires the correct pairing of multiple polypeptide chains for ...
