A Hands-on Activity for V(D)J Recombination in an Undergraduate Immunology Class

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
This learning activity teaches the difficult concept of V(D)J recombination as it occurs in B cells. Following the traditional lecture, this hands-on activity uses pipe cleaners of various colors representing variable, joining, and diversity gene ...

Hereditary systemic immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis [PDF]

Blood, 2015
Key PointsProtein and DNA analyses reveal that mutation in the immunoglobulin κ light-chain constant region gene may cause hereditary amyloidosis. Sequencing of immunoglobulin light-chain constant region genes is indicated for patients with AL amyloidosis and no evidence of a plasma cell dyscrasia.

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

Frontiers 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

Human Gm, Km, and Am Allotypes: WHO/IMGT Nomenclature and IMGT Unique Numbering for Immunoinformatics and Therapeutical Antibodies

BioMedInformatics, 2023
Human immunoglobulin allotypes are allelic antigenic determinants (or “markers”) determined serologically, classically by hemagglutination inhibition, on the human immunoglobulin (IG) or antibody heavy and light chains. The allotypes have been identified

IgG light chain-independent secretion of heavy chain dimers: consequence for therapeutic antibody production and design [PDF]

, 2017
Rodent monoclonal antibodies with specificity towards important biological targets are developed for therapeutic use by a process of humanisation. This process involves the creation of molecules, which retain the specificity of the rodent antibody but ...

The Solution Structures of Two Human IgG1 Antibodies Show Conformational Stability and Accommodate Their C1q and FcγR Ligands. [PDF]

, 2015
The human IgG1 antibody subclass shows distinct properties compared with the IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses and is the most exploited subclass in therapeutic antibodies. It is the most abundant subclass, has a half-life as long as that of IgG2 and IgG4,

Recommendations for use of free light chain assay in monoclonal gammopathies [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2010
The serum immunoglobulin free light chain assay measures levels of free k and l immunoglobulin light chains. There are three major indications for the free light chain assay in the evaluation and management of multiple myeloma and related plasma cell ...

Serum Free Light Chains Removal by HFR Hemodiafiltration in Patients with Multiple Myeloma and Acute Kidney Injury. a Case Series [PDF]

, 2018
Background/Aims: Multiple myeloma (MM) represents 10% of all haematologic malignancies. Renal involvement occurs in 50% of MM patients; of them, 12-20% have acute kidney injury (AKI), with 10% needing dialysis at presentation. While hemodialysis (HD) has
