Agarose gel serum protein electrophoresis in cats with and without lymphoma and preliminary results of tandem mass fingerprinting analysis [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Serum electrophoretic profiles in cats are poorly characterized with respect to the protein components of the globulin fractions, and interpretation of the electrophoretograms has routinely been done in ignorance of the ...

Virus-transformed pre-B cells show ordered activation but not inactivation of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and transcription [PDF]
Virus-transformed pre-B cells undergo ordered immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements during culture. We devised a series of highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays for Ig gene rearrangement and unrearranged Ig gene segment transcription to ...

Evidence for somatic selection of natural autoantibodies. [PDF]
Natural autoantibodies are primarily immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that bind to a variety of self-antigens, including self-IgG. Accounting for a large proportion of the early B cell repertoire, such polyspecific autoantibodies are speculated to ...

Joining of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Gene Segments: Implications from a Chromosome with Evidence of Three D-JH Fusions [PDF]
A chromosomal segment with a unique structure around the immunoglobulin heavy chain joining region (JH) has been molecularly cloned from an Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed cell line.

Light chain mutations contribute to defining the fibril morphology in systemic AL amyloidosis
Systemic AL amyloidosis is one of the most frequently diagnosed forms of systemic amyloidosis. It arises from mutational changes in immunoglobulin light chains.
