A Hands-on Activity for V(D)J Recombination in an Undergraduate Immunology Class

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
This learning activity teaches the difficult concept of V(D)J recombination as it occurs in B cells. Following the traditional lecture, this hands-on activity uses pipe cleaners of various colors representing variable, joining, and diversity gene ...

Learning the statistics and landscape of somatic mutation-induced insertions and deletions in antibodies.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2022
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.

Mu heavy chain disease with MYD88 L265P mutation: an unusual manifestation of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma

open access: yesDiagnostic Pathology, 2022
Background Mu heavy chain disease is a rare lymphoid neoplasm characterized by vacuolated bone marrow plasma cells and secretion of defective mu immunoglobulin heavy chains. The biological basis of mu heavy chain disease is poorly understood.

Immunoglobulin heavy-chain-associated amyloidosis. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1990
Immunoglobulin- or multiple myeloma-associated amyloidosis has been distinguished by the tissue deposition of Congophilic, fibrillar protein consisting of light chains or light-chain fragments (AL amyloidosis). We now report the isolation and characterization of another form of immunoglobulin-associated amyloid obtained from a patient who had extensive

Expression of combinatorial immunoglobulins in macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Structure-function relations in phosphorylcholine-binding mouse myeloma proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
The binding site interactions between the phosphorylcholine (phosphocholine)-binding mouse myeloma proteins TEPC 15, W3207, McPC 603, MOPC 167, and MOPC 511 and the isotopically substituted hapten phosphoryl-[methyl-13C]choline have been investigated ...

Assembly and secretion of heavy chains that do not associate posttranslationally with immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1987
Heavy chain-binding protein (BiP) associates posttranslationally with nascent Ig heavy chains in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and remains associated with these heavy chains until they assemble with light chains.

The c-terminal extension of a hybrid immunoglobulin A/G heavy chain is responsible for its Golgi-mediated sorting to the vacuole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We have assessed the ability of the plant secretory pathway to handle the expression of complex heterologous proteins by investigating the fate of a hybrid immunoglobulin A/G in tobacco cells.
