Developmental 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 کاملHuman heavy chain variable region gene diversity, organization, and expression.
Elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms which determine the expressed antibody repertoire remains a major challenge in immunology. Knowledge of V gene diversity, organization, and expression is important to an understanding of the formation of the antibody repertoire in normal as well as diseased states. In the last few years, great advances have been made in our understanding of t...
متن کامل202 Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Diversity Dna Segments
Complete, active, immunoglobulin variable (V) 1 genes are generated by somatic rearrangement of DNA sequences during the differentiation of lymphocyte precursor cells (1, 2). In the mouse, the conventionally defined V region of the light chains, both and ~¢ types, consists of two DNA segments: VL and Je, which are separate in the germline genome. The two DNA segments are joined at the 3' end of...
متن کاملRearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) pseudogene that deletes the second complementarity-determining region.
We have cloned two rearranged heavy chain variable region (VH) genes from the IgG-producing human cell line CESS. The VH gene, which is linked to the mu chain constant region (C mu) gene, has two deletions at residues 45-62 and 82A-90, the former of which corresponds closely to the second complementarity-determining region (CDR2). These results could indicate that translocation of CDR2 occurred...
متن کاملCharacterization of a complete immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region germ-line gene of rainbow trout.
A germ-line heavy-chain variable region (VH) gene (RTVH431) has been isolated from a rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and characterized by complete nucleotide sequencing. It is characteristic of VH, as shown by the conserved octamer and TATA motif in the 5' region, the heptamernonamer recombination signal sequence in the 3' region, and the 18-amino-acid-long hydrophobic leader interrupted by an ...
