Nonallelic behavior of rabbit variable-region allotypes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group a allotypes not detected by qualitative typing or anticipated from breeding data (latent allotypes) were detected at low levels in 50% of normal rabbit sera tested. The latent allotypes, which were serologically identical to allotypes of pooled IgG, were detected in sera from rabbits with all possible combinations of group a allotypes and their occurrence in individual rabbits was transitory and sporadic. These findings give reason to question the assumption that the synthesis of immunoglobulin allotypes is directed by allelic structural genes.

Genetic studies have indicated that immunoglobulin allotypes are inherited as codominant Mendelian alleles and that their synthesis is controlled by genes at three unlinked loci (1). However, recent evidence has challenged the notion that immunoglobulin allotypes are encoded by allelic structural genes, and has led to the suggestion that individuals may possess complex groups of structural gene...

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.

متن کاملRabbit secretory components of different allotypes vary in their carbohydrate content and their sites of N-linked glycosylation.
The asparagine-linked glycosylation sites in rabbit high and low Mr secretory components (SC) have been determined for the three known allotypes, t61, t62, and t63. Purified SC polypeptides were subjected to mild periodate oxidation of terminal nonreducing sugars followed by selective reduction with [3H]sodium borohydride, SC polypeptides were further proteolytically cleaved, and the 3H-labeled...

Two antibodies to Group C streptococcal carbohydrate isolated from an individual rabbit had similar relative binding affinities for a Group C immuno-adsorbent column. Their light chains were similar, if not identical, as were the constant regions of their heavy chains. Differences in the variable regions of the H chains of the two antibodies were detected by chemical analysis. The two antibodie...
متن کاملAllotypically related sequences in the Fd fragment of rabbit immunoglobulin heavy chains.
The sequence has been completed of the N-terminal 94 residues of the variable section of the Fd fragment of heavy chains from rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) of allotype As1. Most of the sequence of the same section from IgG of allotype Aa3 is also reported. These results, in conjunction with a substantial sequence of the variable region of allotype Aa2 reported elsewhere (Fleischman, 1971), show...
