Localization, analysis and evolution of transposed human immunoglobulin VK genes [PDF]

, 1988
The localization of Vκ gene regions to chromosome 2, on which the κ locus is located, and to other chromosomes is described. The Vκ genes that have been transposed to other chromosomes are called orphons.

Amyloidogenicity of Immunoglobulin Light Chains [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2015
Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a rare protein aggregation disease. It usually strikes in the wake of myeloma, which affects plasma cells in the adaptive immune system. During plasma cell development, the immunoglobulin light chain (LC) genes undergo several rearrangements that leave each clone with a unique protein sequence.

Review of Immunoinformatic approaches to in-silico B-cell epitope prediction [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper, the current state of in-silico, B-cell epitope prediction is discussed. Recommendations for improving some of the approaches encountered are outlined, along with the presentation of an entirely novel technique, which uses molecular ...

In Silico Prediction of Continuous Epitopes on Human immunoglobulin Light Chains [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2020
Background & Objective: Immunoglobulins (Igs) have a vital role in body protection against germs. Igs contain heavy and light chains. Ig light chains consist of two isotypes: Kappa and lambda.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Nefropatía no amiloidea por depósito de inmunoglobulinas monoclonales A propósito de un caso de enfermedad idiopática por depósito de cadenas ligeras

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2009
La nefropatía de las gammapatías monoclonales es debida, principalmente, al depósito de cadenas ligeras. Las enfermedades renales paraproteinémicas son lesiones asociadas con depósitos de inmunoglobulinas intactas o fragmentos de inmunoglobulinas ...

Analysis of the structural correlates for antibody polyreactivity by multiple reassortments of chimeric human immunoglobulin heavy and light chain V segments. [PDF]

, 1994
Polyreactive antibodies (Abs) constitute a major proportion of the early Ab repertoire and are an important component of the natural defense mechanisms against infections.

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.
