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 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 کاملATM Is Required for Efficient Recombination between Immunoglobulin Switch Regions
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase is critical for initiating the signaling pathways that lead to cell cycle checkpoints and DNA double strand break repair. In the absence of ATM, humans and mice show a primary immunodeficiency that includes low serum antibody titers, but the role of ATM in antigen-driven immunoglobulin gene diversification has not been defined. Here, we show that altho...
متن کاملParp3 Negatively Regulates Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination
To generate highly specific and adapted immune responses, B cells diversify their antibody repertoire through mechanisms involving the generation of programmed DNA damage. Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by the recruitment of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) to immunoglobulin loci and by the subsequent generation of DNA lesions, which ar...
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...
