A new gene in A. rubens: A sea star Ig kappa gene
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sea star Asterias rubens reacts specifically to the antigen:HRP (horse-radish peroxydase) and produces an antibody anti-HRP. We previously identified a candidate Ig kappa gene corresponding to this manuscript. We show now the gene referred to as: "sea star Ig kappa gene in its specificity".

Immune Properties Corroborated by A. Rubens Sea Star Igkappa Gene
The general idea that emerged from the experiments, made in our laboratoires, was that Echinodermata, as exemplified by sea stars: Asterina gibbosa and Asterias Rubens, possessed an immune system, with B cell lymphocytes, able to mount cellular and humoral-specific responses, after stimulation with a foreign antigen [1]. Asterias Rubens produced ‘‘An antibody’’ anti HRP after injections to HRP,...
متن کاملEvidence of low affinity immunoglobulin epsilon Fc receptor gene in an invertebrate: The sea star Asterias rubens
Kappa genes and complement genes were found in the sea star in the past. Recently, we discovered a “sea star IgKappa gene”. We present now a low affinity Ig epsilon Fc receptor gene when compared to mouse genome, in immunized and non-immunized sea stars to HRP.

متن کاملAsterias rubens: Evidence of NF-kappa B genes
In the present paper we show a survey of the Asterias rubens sea star genome for genes associated with NF-kappa-B proteins implied in the immune response. The NF-kappa B gene, into 2 subunits, was found in this invertebrate.
متن کاملComplement Genes in the Asterids Comparisons with the Echinids (echinoderma)
The axial organ of the sea star Asterias rubens (Asterid) is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlating with ig kappa genes. On the other hand, component complement genes were found. For each component, one or several contigs were analysed. It is said that Asterias forbesi, another sea-star, in earlier results, showed...
