Ig constant region effects on variable region structure and function

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The adaptive humoral immune response is responsible for the generation of antimicrobial proteins known as immunoglobulin molecules or antibodies. Immunoglobulins provide a defense system against pathogenic microbes and toxins by targeting them for ...

A Comparison of Immunoglobulin Variable Region N-Linked Glycosylation in Healthy Donors, Autoimmune Disease and Lymphoma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
N-linked glycans play an important role in immunity. Although the role of N-linked glycans in the Fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of immunoglobulins has been thoroughly described, the function of N-linked glycans present in Ig-variable domains is ...

Preferential use of unmutated immunoglobulin heavy variable region genes in Boxer dogs with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clinically heterogeneous disease, and immunoglobulin heavy variable region (IGHV) gene mutational status is an important prognostic marker.

Functional Versatility of AGY Serine Codons in Immunoglobulin Variable Region Genes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
In systemic autoimmunity, autoantibodies directed against nuclear antigens (Ag) often arise by somatic hypermutation (SHM) that converts AGT and AGC (AGY) Ser codons into Arg codons. This can occur by three different single-base changes. Curiously, AGY

Plasma proteomic profiling suggests an association between antigen driven clonal B cell expansion and ME/CFS.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is an unexplained chronic, debilitating illness characterized by fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, orthostatic intolerance and gastrointestinal problems.

Computational Inference, Validation, and Analysis of 5’UTR-Leader Sequences of Alleles of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Genes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Upstream and downstream sequences of immunoglobulin genes may affect the expression of such genes. However, these sequences are rarely studied or characterized in most studies of immunoglobulin repertoires. Inference from large, rearranged immunoglobulin

Clinical significance of LAIR1 (CD305) as assessed by flow cytometry in a prospective series of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Haematologica, 2014
Most patients affected by chronic lymphocytic leukemia are diagnosed by flow cytometry. Several immunophenotypic markers have been identified as significant and independent prognostic variables, especially from retrospective cohorts.

Determination of variable region sequences from hybridoma immunoglobulins that target Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence factors.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects one-quarter of the world's population. Mtb and HIV coinfections enhance the comorbidity of tuberculosis (TB) and AIDS, accounting for one-third of all AIDS-associated mortalities.

Immunoglobulin genes and diversity: what we have learned from domestic animals

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012
This review focuses on the diversity of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and Ig isotypes that are expressed in domestic animals. Four livestock species—cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses—express a full range of Ig heavy chains (IgHs), including μ, δ, γ, ϵ, and α ...
