Immunoglobulin G heavy chain (Gm) allotypes in multiple sclerosis.
Serum samples from 70 Caucasian patients with multiple sclerosis were typed for nine Gm markers. Significant association was found with the Gm 1,17;21 phenotype, and the relative risk for individuals with this phenotype was calculated at 3.6. The data indicate that Caucasians positive for Gm 1,17;21 are almost four times more likely to develop multiple sclerosis than those without this phenotype.
متن کاملThe immunoglobulin allotypes (Gm and Km) of twelve Indian tribes of Central and South America.
The Gm and Km immunoglobulin allotypes are presented, for the first time, for six South American Indian tribes (Baniwa, Kanamari, Kraho, Makiritare, Panoa, and Ticuna) and one Central American tribe (Guaymi). Additional allotype information is presented for five previously reported South American tribes (Cayapo, Piaroa, Trio, Xavante and Yanomama). The distributions of the Gm and Km allotypes a...
متن کاملEpistatic effects of immunoglobulin GM and KM allotypes on outcome of infection with hepatitis C virus.
Immunoglobulin GM and KM allotypes-genetic markers of gamma and kappa chains, respectively-are associated with immune responsiveness to several infectious pathogens and with survival in certain viral epidemics. We hypothesized that GM and KM allotypes affect the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. To test this hypothesis, we serologically allotyped 100 persons with well-documented cle...

morethanoneclassofheavychainflodd, 1963)couldonlyberationalized if these markers were present in the variable region. This has been the subject of muchcontroversy, as the presence of a genetic marker is indicative that the gene bearing it is present as only a single entity in the germ line, and hence an argument for somatic mutation as the mode of generation of antibody diversity. Sequence stud...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin allotypes of rabbit kappa chains: polymorphism of a control mechanism regulating closely linked duplicated genes?
The amino acid sequence of the constant (CK) region from the kappa immunoglobulin chains of a b9 rabbit is compared with the CK sequences, taken from the literature, of a b4 rabbit. These CK regions differ by 33% of their amino acid sequences and by three sequence insertions or deletions (sequence gaps). These extensive differences together with other published observations suggest that the b9 ...
