A highly informative probe for two polymorphic Vh gene regions that contain one or more autoantibody-associated Vh genes.
Efforts to determine the role of specific Ig variable region (V) genes in human autoimmune responses have been hampered by the lack of suitably polymorphic probes. Recently we isolated a heavy chain V (Vh) gene, designated Humhv3005, that is 99% homologous to the 1.9III Vh gene and can encode an anti-DNA antibody. To study the relation between these two genes, different DNA fragments from the i...

متن کاملVH gene replacement in thymocytes.
The quasi-monoclonal (QM) mouse has a functionally rearranged H chain gene inserted into its natural position in the IgH locus. In this position, the H chain gene is subject to many of the same activities as normally arranged H chain genes, including somatic hypermutation, V(H) gene replacement, and class switch recombination. Here, we have used this mouse strain to determine some of the rules ...
متن کاملVH gene family utilization is regulated by a locus outside of the VH region
We have used the RNA colony blot method to examine VH usage in colonies derived from primary splenic B cells. We found that there are strain-specific differences in the pattern of VH usage. Using parental F1, congenic, and recombinant inbred strains we demonstrate that the genetic element that causes the observed phenotype is: (a) stably expressed; (b) not due to maternal influence; (c) not due...
متن کاملAntigenic studies of a VH fragment: demonstration of three sets of antigens, idiotypic, VH subgroup, and VH framework-specific antigens.
The antigenic properties of the VH region of immunoglobulin heavy chains were studied by means of a fragment corresponding to the variable part of the heavy chain of an IgG3 myeloma protein (KUP) and an antiserum made against this fragment. By hemagglutination, hemagglutination inhibition, and immunofluorescence techniques, it was shown that the anti-VH antiserum detected three sets of antigens...
