Human Gm, Km, and Am Allotypes: WHO/IMGT Nomenclature and IMGT Unique Numbering for Immunoinformatics and Therapeutical Antibodies

BioMedInformatics, 2023
Human immunoglobulin allotypes are allelic antigenic determinants (or “markers”) determined serologically, classically by hemagglutination inhibition, on the human immunoglobulin (IG) or antibody heavy and light chains. The allotypes have been identified

Antibody Light Chains: Key to Increased Monoclonal Antibody Yields in Expi293 Cells?

Antibodies, 2022
When constructing isogenic recombinant IgM–IgG pairs, we discovered that μ heavy chains strongly prefer partnering with λ light chains for optimal IgM expression in transiently cotransfected Expi293 cells.

Gamma heavy chain disease associated with T-cell large granular lymphocyte lymphoproliferative disorder: case report and literature review.

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Heavy chain diseases are rare B-cell neoplasms consisting of the production of a monoclonal immunoglobulin composed of the only heavy chain without corresponding light chains.

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

Journal 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.

PLoS 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

Diagnostic 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.

Chimerization of antibodies by isolation of rearranged genomic variable regions by the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 1991
We describe a new method for amplification, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), of rearranged segments encoding the variable part of light and heavy chains of an antibody (Ab) from the chromosomal DNA of hybridoma cells for the chimerization ofAbs.

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.

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

, 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.

Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance: Spectrum of diseases and approach to a case

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2021
The occurrence of kidney diseases associated with a monoclonal gammopathy in the absence of symptomatic multiple myeloma is increasingly recognized. When the kidney is involved, the monoclonal etiology of these diseases results in clinical and laboratory
