Immunoglobulin M Paraproteinaemias [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Monoclonal paraproteinaemia is an increasingly common reason for referral to haematology services. Paraproteinaemias may be associated with life-threatening haematologic malignancies but can also be an incidental finding requiring only observation. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraproteinaemias comprise 15–20% of monoclonal proteins but pose unique clinical ...

Lateral-Flow Assay for Rapid Serodiagnosis of Human Leptospirosis [PDF]
, 2001 An assay device for the rapid detection of Leptospira-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human sera is presented. The sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (93.6%) of the assay compared well (91.9% agreement) with those of an IgM enzyme-linked ...

Structural basis for Fc receptor recognition of immunoglobulin M. [PDF]
Nat Struct Mol Biol, 2023 Immunoglobulin Fc receptors are cell surface transmembrane proteins that bind to the Fc constant region of antibodies and play critical roles in regulating immune responses by activation of immune cells, clearance of immune complexes and regulation of ...

Non-functional immunoglobulin G transcripts in a case of hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome similar to type 4 [PDF]
, 2004 86% of immunoglobulin G (IgG) heavy-chain gene transcripts were found to be non-functional in the peripheral blood B cells of a patient initially diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency, who later developed raised IgM, whereas no non-functionally

Identification of the ancestral killer immunoglobulin-like receptor gene in primates [PDF]
, 2006 Background: Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) are essential immuno- surveillance molecules. They are expressed on natural killer and T cells, and interact with human leukocyte antigens.

Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis by joint detection of immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997 An indirect immunofluorescence test with total anti-human immunoglobulin conjugate (IgG,A,M-IIF) can be used for joint detection of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM antibodies, provided serum IgG is previously absorbed with anti-human IgG. To determine the validity of the IgG,A,M-IIF assay with absorbed sera, the results obtained were compared with those

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.

Gene conversion in human rearranged immunoglobulin genes [PDF]
, 2006 Over the past 20 years, many DNA sequences have been published suggesting that all or part of the V<sub>H</sub> segment of a rearranged immunoglobulin gene may be replaced in vivo. Two different mechanisms appear to be operating. One of these

Primary vs. Secondary Antibody Deficiency: Clinical Features and Infection Outcomes of Immunoglobulin Replacement [PDF]
, 2014 Secondary antibody deficiency can occur as a result of haematological malignancies or certain medications, but not much is known about the clinical and immunological features of this group of patients as a whole. Here we describe a cohort of 167 patients

The immunoglobulin κ gene families of human and mouse: a cottage industry approach [PDF]
, 2000 Some aspects of the work of our group on the human and mouse immunoglobulin κ genes are reviewed. The human κ locus contains a large duplication: a 600 kb C κ-proximal copy with 40 V κ genes is found in the close vicinity of a 440 kb C κ-distal copy with
