Genetic Correlation of a Mouse Light Chain Variable Region Marker with a Thymocyte Surface Antigen
نویسنده
چکیده
The inbred and congenic strain distribution of the I(H)-peptide marker in the variable region of mouse immunoglobulin light chains has been compared with other known genetic markers. A positive correlation was noted between the I(H)-peptide marker and expression of the Ly-3.1 thymocyte cell surface antigen. This suggests that the locus responsible for I(H)-peptide expression is genetically linked to the Ly-2 and Ly-3 loci in linkage group XI on chromsome 6 of the mouse.

Recent advances in the knowledge of antibody structure have prompted much discussion of the number and arrangement of the genes which code for immunoglobulin light and heavy chains (6, 12). In no case, however, have immunoglobulin structural genes been located in a genetic linkage map of any organism. Knowledge of the linkage groups containing immunoglobulin structural loci would be useful in f...
متن کاملDetermination of Superficial Clefts on Fragment of Antigen Binding in Human Immunoglobulin G by Computational Immunology
Background: Immunoglobulins (Igs) are protective glycoproteins specifically identify and eradicate microbes. Fragment of antigen binding (Fab) is a portion of antibody which binds to antigen and consists of one variable and one constant domain of one heavy and one light chain. Idiotypes, epitopes situated on Igs variable region, could be exploited to monitor and target malignant B cells and are...
متن کاملGenetic marker in the variable region of kappa chains of mouse anti-phosphorylcholine antibodies.
A newly discovered genetic marker in the kappa light chains of mouse immunoglobulins is described. This marker, designated kappa-PC8, is located in the L chains of those anti-phosphorylcholine (PC) antibodies which show the same functional and idiotypic characteristics as a PC-binding myeloma protein, HOPC 8 (H8). Analytical isoelectric focusing of these L chains revealed two phenotypes whose ...
متن کاملChimeric human antibody molecules: mouse antigen-binding domains with human constant region domains.
We have created mouse-human antibody molecules of defined antigen-binding specificity by taking the variable region genes of a mouse antibody-producing myeloma cell line with known antigen-binding specificity and joining them to human immunoglobulin constant region genes using recombinant DNA techniques. Chimeric genes were constructed that utilized the rearranged and expressed antigen-binding ...
متن کاملPeripheral Blood B Cells Expressing the CD27 Cell Surface Antigen Carry Somatically Mutated Variable Region Genes: CD27 as a General Marker for Somatically Mutated (Memory) B Cells
Immunoglobulin (Ig)M 1 IgD 1 B cells are generally assumed to represent antigen-inexperienced, naive B cells expressing variable (V) region genes without somatic mutations. We report here that human IgM 1 IgD 1 peripheral blood (PB) B cells expressing the CD27 cell surface antigen carry mutated V genes, in contrast to CD27-negative IgM 1 IgD 1 B cells. IgM 1 IgD 1 CD27 1 B cells resemble class-...
