متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4 and related diseases.
i mmunoglobulins, produced by plasma cells, are the effector arm of the humoral immune system [1]. Each immunoglobulin consists of two identical heavy chains (α, β, γ, δ or ε – all encoded by chromosome 14) and two identical light chains (either κ or λ, encoded by chromosome 2 and 22, respectively) [2]. The immunoglobulins have constant (C) regions (similar within the same isotype) and variable...
