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

Chromosomal location of the genes for human immunoglobulin heavy chains.
We have studied somatic cell hybrids between P3x63Ag8 mouse myeloma cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8) and either human peripheral lymphocytes or human lymphoblastoid or myeloma cells for the production of human ...

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

Diversity of immunoglobulin light chain genes in non-teleost ray-finned fish uncovers IgL subdivision into five ancient isotypes [PDF]
The aim of this study was to fill important gaps in the evolutionary history of immunoglobulins by examining the structure and diversity of IgL genes in non-teleost ray-finned fish.

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.

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

Diagnosing a Challenging Case of Primary Amyloidosis using Capillary Electrophoresis [PDF]
Amyloid Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterised by deposition of intact free light chains or their fragments in extracellular space. Here, authors describe the journey of a diagnostically challenging patient who presented with features of ...
