Comprehensive FISH Probe Design Tool Applied to Imaging Human Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination
We present a web engine boosted fluorescence in-situ hybridization (webFISH) algorithm using a genome-wide sequence similarity search to design target-specific single-copy and repetitive DNA FISH probes. The webFISH algorithm featuring a user-friendly interface (http://www.webfish2.org/) maximizes the coverage of the examined sequences with FISH probes by considering locally repetitive sequence...
متن کاملDetection of T cell receptor alpha chain locus rearrangements in human antigen-specific T lymphocyte clones using a DNA probe specific for chromosome region 14q11
Human cloned antigen-specific T lymphocytes were used to characterize DNA rearrangements using a cDNA probe from the T cell receptor (TCR)-alpha chain gene. Rearranged patterns were detected in some T cell clones, confirming that normal mature T cells are rearranged in TCR-alpha locus. Similarly, rearranged DNA patterns were found in T cell clones from the same panel, using a DNA probe (clone K...
متن کاملPREPARATION OF ENRICHED IMMUNOGLOBULIN M AND IMMUNOGLOBULIN A FROM HUMAN PLASMA
As IgM and IgA-enriched preparations are needed to complete the immunotherapeutic spectrum, a simple procedure is described for the preparation of IgM and IgA enriched immunoglobulins. Fraction III which was prepared by cold ethanol fractionation was treated by octanoic acid followed by ethanol precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography using Sephadex DEAE A-50 and 0.1 M tris-D.35M NaCI ...
متن کاملThe immunoglobulin heavy chain locus contains another B-cell-specific 3' enhancer close to the alpha constant region.
The transcription of immunoglobulin genes is controlled by variable region promoters and by enhancers, both of which are lymphoid specific. Because immunoglobulin genes are subject to an extremely complex regulation, we anticipated that there might be additional control elements for these genes. We therefore sought additional enhancers and demonstrate here that there is indeed another weak tran...
متن کاملMitoLSDB: The Human Mitochondrial Locus Specific Database
Background: Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes a set of 37 genes which are essential structural and functional components of the electron transport chain. Variations in these genes have been implicated in a broad spectrum of diseases and are extensively reported in literature and various databases. In this study, we describe MitoLSDB, an integrated platform to catalogue disease association...
