A deletion map of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region
Analysis of VH gene segments deleted in the process of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) variable region assembly in three series of monoclonal B cell lines has been used to determine the human VH region organization. A deletion map of the relative positions of 21 different VH gene segments has been determined. The characterization of B cell lines from three unrelated adults of two racial groups...
متن کاملDevelopmental progression of equine immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region diversity.
Humoral immunity is a critical component of the immune system that is established during fetal life and expands upon exposure to pathogens. The extensive humoral immune response repertoire is generated in large part via immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain variable region diversity. The horse is a useful model to study the development of humoral diversity because the placenta does not transfer mater...
متن کاملThe Complete Nucleotide Sequence of the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region Locus
The complete nucleotide sequence of the 957-kb DNA of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (VH) region locus was determined and 43 novel VH segments were identified. The region contains 123 VH segments classifiable into seven different families, of which 79 are pseudogenes. Of the 44 VH segments with an open reading frame, 39 are expressed as heavy chain proteins and 1 as mRNA, while t...
متن کاملComplete physical map of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gene complex.
We have found by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis that the human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region gene complex maps entirely to a 350-kilobase (kb) Mlu I fragment. The enzyme Eag I was used with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis alone and in double digests with Spe I to map the region. C gamma 3, of the C gamma 3-C gamma 1-C psi epsilon 1-C alpha 1 cluster, maps 60 kb to the 3' side of...
متن کاملStructure and multiplicity of genes for the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region.
Several genes for the variable region of immunoglobulin heavy chains (VH genes) have been isolated from human fetal liver DNA by using a cDNA plasmid probe containing a mouse VH sequence. The detectable VH genes are separated by 12-16 kilobases of DNA, and hybridization experiments show about 23 hybridizing VH genes in DNA of three different individuals. The complete nucleotide sequence of one ...
