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

open access: yesThe Journal of experimental medicine, 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. They are primarily immunoglobulin M (IgM) and bind a variety of structurally dissimilar self and exogenous antigens (Ags) with moderate affinity.

Is Zebrafish a Good Model for the Alpha‐Gal Syndrome?

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.
ABSTRACT The alpha‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is an underdiagnosed tick‐borne allergy characterized by both immediate and delayed IgE‐mediated anaphylactic reactions to the galactose‐alpha‐1,3‐galactose (alpha‐Gal) epitope. Common manifestations include gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and respiratory symptoms appearing 2–6 h after the consumption of mammalian ...

Maternal IgE Influence on Fetal and Infant Health

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 331, Issue 1, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, and other insults to barrier tissues exposed to the environment.

Chlamydophila psittaci-negative ocular adnexal marginal zone lymphomas express self polyreactive B-cell receptors

open access: yes, 2017
The pathogenesis of Chlamydophila psittaci-negative ocular adnexal extranodal marginal zone lymphomas (OAEMZLs) is poorly understood. OAEMZLs are monoclonal tumors expressing a biased repertoire of mutated surface immunoglobulins. Antigenic activation of

Common idiotypes expressed on human, monoclonal, abnormal immunoglobulins and cryoglobulins with polyreaetive autoantibody activities [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1993
SUMMARYSeveral hutiian monoclonal immunoglobtilins with the same auloatitibody activity have been shown to have cross-reactive idiotypes (CRI). In this study, using polyclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies, we fotind that 28% of hutnan monoclonal immunoglobulins with polyreaetive autoantibody activity from myeloma.

Self‐reactive B cells are increased in all major stages of peripheral development in Sjögren's disease

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 401-410, April 2025.
In this article, we identify self‐reactive peripheral blood B cells in Sjögren's disease through a single‐cell culture system. We find 2‐ to 10‐fold increased frequencies of self‐reactive B cells during all stages of peripheral development in Sjögren's compared with healthy donors.

Intestinal mucosal immunity and type 1 diabetes: Non‐negligible communication between gut and pancreas

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 1045-1064, March 2025.
Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by T cell‐mediated pancreatic β cell loss, resulting in lifelong absolute insulin deficiency and hyperglycaemia. Environmental factors are recognized as a key contributor to the development of T1D, with the gut serving as a primary interface for environmental stimuli.

Know Your ABCs: Discovery, Differentiation, and Targeting of T‐Bet+ B Cells

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 330, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Since their first description in 2008, T‐bet+ B cells have emerged as a clinically important B cell subset. Now commonly known as ABCs (Age‐associated B Cells), they are uniquely characterized by their expression of the transcription factor T‐bet. Indeed, this singular factor defines this B cell subset.

Polyreactive antibodies in multidonor-derived immunoglobulin G: Theory and conclusions drawn from experiments

open access: yesImmunobiology, 2010
Multidonor-derived (md) preparations of IgG antibodies, agents of therapeutic potential, contain molecules interacting at clonal concentrations (concns) and with affinities recently estimated to cover a considerable range. Here we demonstrate that polyreactivity of the monomeric molecules represents the essential driving force of formation of the main ...
