High Inter-Individual Diversity of Point Mutations, Insertions, and Deletions in Human Influenza Virus Nucleoprotein-Specific Memory B Cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The diversity of virus-specific antibodies and of B cells among different individuals is unknown. Using single-cell cloning of antibody genes, we generated recombinant human monoclonal antibodies from influenza nucleoprotein-specific memory B cells in ...

Diagnosing a Challenging Case of Primary Amyloidosis using Capillary Electrophoresis [PDF]

open access: yesNational Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2021
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 ...

Mutations in specific structural regions of immunoglobulin light chains are associated with free light chain levels in patients with AL amyloidosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The amyloidoses are protein misfolding diseases characterized by the deposition of amyloid that leads to cell death and tissue degeneration. In immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL), each patient has a unique monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain ...

Common light chain chickens produce human antibodies of high affinity and broad epitope coverage for the engineering of bispecifics

open access: yesmAbs, 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 ...

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.

Evidence for an Intrathecal Immunoglobulin Synthesis by Kappa Free Light Chains in Neurological Patients with an Isolated Band in Isoelectric Focusing

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
The gold standard for detecting intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis is the determination of the oligoclonal band (OCB) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using isoelectric focusing (IEF).

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

Sequences related to immunoglobulin kappa chain messenger RNA in T cells. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1976
We investigated by molecular hybridization whether T cells contain RNA sequences homologous to RNA which codes for immunoglobulin kappa-chain (k-chain). A radioactive probe of complementary DNA (cDNA) was prepared by transcription of purified k-chain mRNA from mouse myeloma MOPC-41 with reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent-DNA nucleotidyltransferase ...

A case of Fanconi syndrome accompanied by crystal depositions in tubular cells in a patient with multiple myeloma

open access: yesKidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2014
Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a rare condition that is characterized by defects in the proximal tubular function. A 48-year-old woman was admitted for evaluation of proteinuria.
