Maturation of the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Repertoire With Age [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 B cells play a central role in adaptive immune processes, mainly through the production of antibodies. The maturation of the B cell system with age is poorly studied. We extensively investigated age-related alterations of naïve and antigen-experienced immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) repertoires.

Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Genes
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989 genes in man, has lagged surprisingly behind similar information in the inbred mouse. The reasons for this are complicated but to some extent are related to the discovery of the myc oncogene. Thus, after genes encoding some of the constant region isotypes as well as the well defined “subgroups,”

mAbs, 2021 Bispecific antibodies are an important and growing segment in antibody therapeutics, particularly in the immuno-oncology space. Manufacturing of a bispecific antibody with two different heavy chains is greatly simplified if the light chains can be the ...

Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, 2016 Heavy chain diseases are rare variants of B-cell lymphomas that produce one of three classes of immunoglobulin heavy chains, without corresponding light chains. We describe two patients with asymptomatic heavy chain monoclonal gammopathy.

Next generation Fc scaffold for multispecific antibodies
iScience, 2021 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 ...

A comprehensive analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes in the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2015 Heavy chain only antibodies (HCAbs) represent a rare type of antibody that is devoid of light chains and the CH1 domain that have been reported in cartilaginous fish and camelids.

Immunoglobulin genes and diversity: what we have learned from domestic animals
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012 This review focuses on the diversity of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and Ig isotypes that are expressed in domestic animals. Four livestock species—cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses—express a full range of Ig heavy chains (IgHs), including μ, δ, γ, ϵ, and α ...

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 ...
