Immunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies
Immunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies (Ig-CSR-Ds) are rare primary immunodeficiencies characterized by defective switched isotype (IgG/IgA/IgE) production. Depending on the molecular defect in question, the Ig-CSR-D may be combined with an impairment in somatic hypermutation (SHM). Some of the mechanisms underlying Ig-CSR and SHM have been described by studying natural mutants ...
متن کاملSense transcription through the S region is essential for immunoglobulin class switch recombination.
Class switch recombination (CSR) occurs between highly repetitive sequences called switch (S) regions and is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). CSR is preceded by a bidirectional transcription of S regions but the relative importance of sense and antisense transcription for CSR in vivo is unknown. We generated three mouse lines in which we attempted a premature terminatio...
متن کاملonychomadesis in a patient with immunoglobulin class switch recombination deficiency
immunoglobulin class switch recombination deficiencies (ig csr deficiencies) or hyper igm syndromes (higm) are a group of primary immunodeficiency diseases, characterized by defective cd40 signaling of b cells resulting into a csr and a somatic hypermutation. the affected patients are characterized with reduced serum levels of igg and iga, and normal or elevated level of igm, which lead to incr...
متن کاملIkaros controls isotype selection during immunoglobulin class switch recombination
Class switch recombination (CSR) allows the humoral immune response to exploit different effector pathways through specific secondary antibody isotypes. However, the molecular mechanisms and factors that control immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype choice for CSR are unclear. We report that deficiency for the Ikaros transcription factor results in increased and ectopic CSR to IgG(2b) and IgG(2a), and re...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination Is Impaired in Atm-deficient Mice
Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (Ig CSR) involves DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) at recombining switch regions and repair of these breaks by nonhomologous end-joining. Because the protein kinase ataxia telengiectasia (AT) mutated (ATM) plays a critical role in DSB repair and AT patients show abnormalities of Ig isotype expression, we assessed the role of ATM in CSR by examining ATM-d...
