A comprehensive analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes in the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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

open access: yesPractical 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.

Expansion of the preimmune antibody repertoire by junctional diversity in Bos taurus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Significant differences in physicochemical properties of human immunoglobulin kappa and lambda CDR3 regions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Antibody variable regions are composed of a heavy and a light chain and in humans there are two light chain isotypes: kappa and lambda. Despite their importance in receptor editing, the light chain is often overlooked in the antibody literature, with the

Astrocytes express aberrant immunoglobulins as putative gatekeeper of astrocytes to neuronal progenitor conversion

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Using multi-omics analyses including RNAseq, RT-PCR, RACE-PCR, and shotgun proteomic with enrichment strategies, we demonstrated that newborn rat astrocytes produce neural immunoglobulin constant and variable heavy chains as well as light chains. However,

Non-functional immunoglobulin G transcripts in a case of hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome similar to type 4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
86% of immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy-chain gene transcripts were found to be non-functional in the peripheral blood B cells of a patient initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency, who later developed raised IgM, whereas no non-functionally

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.
