متن کاملGenomic organization and evolution of immunoglobulin kappa gene enhancers and kappa deleting element in mammals.
We have studied the genomic structure and evolutionary pattern of immunoglobulin kappa deleting element (KDE) and three kappa enhancers (KE5', KE3'P, and KE3'D) in eleven mammalian genomic sequences. Our results show that the relative positions and the genomic organization of the KDE and the kappa enhancers are conserved in all mammals studied and have not been affected by the local rearrangeme...
متن کاملReference values for immunoglobulin kappa and lambda light chains and the kappa/lambda ratio in children's serum.
We analyzed 708 serum samples from healthy children and adolescents by immunonephelometry to obtain reference values for the immunoglobulin kappa (kappa) and lambda (lambda) light chains and for their ratio at a time of life when immunoglobulin synthesis is maturing and continually being stimulated. The lambda chain concentration that is to be maintained throughout the child's life is reached v...
متن کاملEvolution of immunoglobulin kappa chain variable region genes in vertebrates.
The major source of immunoglobulin diversity is variation in DNA sequence among multiple copies of variable region (V) genes of the heavy- and light-chain multigene families. In order to clarify the evolutionary pattern of the multigene family of immunoglobulin light kappa chain V region (V kappa) genes, phylogenetic analyses of V kappa genes from humans and other vertebrate species were conduc...
متن کاملIgD (kappa) "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma: report of a case.
A case of IgD "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma in a 46-yr-old woman is reported. Despite the presence of disseminated osteolytic lesions, both serum protein electrophoresis and serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis were normal. In addition, bone scintigraphic study was normal. Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate obtained from the left femur lytic lesion showed only myelomatous proplasmocytes; when e...
