Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]
Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Learning the heterogeneous hypermutation landscape of immunoglobulins from high-throughput repertoire data [PDF]
Somatic hypermutations of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes occuring during affinity maturation drive B-cell receptors' ability to evolve strong binding to their antigenic targets. The landscape of these mutations is highly heterogeneous, with certain regions of the Ig gene being preferentially targeted. However, a rigorous quantification of this bias has been

Immunoglobulin genes and diversity: what we have learned from domestic animals
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 ...

Variants of mouse myeloma cells that produce short immunoglobulin heavy chains.
After mutagenesis of cultured mouse myeloma cells with ICR 191 or Melphalan, variant clones were isolated that synthesized immunoglobulin heavy chains shorter than those produced by the parent.

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,

Immunoglobulin heavy chain patterns in reactive lymphadenopathy. [PDF]
Thirty one lymph nodes taken from 24 benign reactive cases, three cases of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, one case of Kimura's disease and three cases of Hodgkin's disease, were stained for immunoglobulin heavy chains IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method.

RAGs and Regulation of Autoantibodies [PDF]
Autoreactive antibodies are etiologic agents in a number of autoimmune diseases. Like all other antibodies these antibodies are produced in developing B cells by V(D)J recombination in the bone marrow.

Per-sample immunoglobulin germline inference from B cell receptor deep sequencing data [PDF]
The collection of immunoglobulin genes in an individual's germline, which gives rise to B cell receptors via recombination, is known to vary significantly across individuals. In humans, for example, each individual has only a fraction of the several hundred known V alleles.

Inference of B cell clonal families using heavy/light chain pairing information [PDF]
Next generation sequencing of B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires has become a ubiquitous tool for understanding the antibody-mediated immune response: it is now common to have large volumes of sequence data coding for both the heavy and light chain subunits of the BCR.
