Analyzing Immunoglobulin Repertoires
Somatic assembly of T cell receptor and B cell receptor (BCR) genes produces a vast diversity of lymphocyte antigen recognition capacity. The advent of efficient high-throughput sequencing of lymphocyte antigen receptor genes has recently generated unprecedented opportunities for exploration of adaptive immune responses. With these opportunities have come significant challenges in understanding...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin isotype influences affinity and specificity.
F or almost half a century the Ig molecule has been considered a bifunctional molecule consisting of two independent regions, a variable (V) region responsible for specificity and affinity, and a constant (C) region responsible for such effector functions as complement activation and interaction with Fc receptors. The origin of this view dates back to the Nobel Prizewinning work of Rodney R. Po...
متن کاملThe immunoglobulin constant region contributes to affinity and specificity.
A central dogma in immunology is that antibody specificity is solely the result of variable (V)-region interactions with an antigen. However, this view is not tenable in light of numerous reports that constant heavy (C(H)) domains can affect binding affinity and specificity and V-region structure. Kinetic and thermodynamic proof for the occurrence of this phenomenon is now available. C(H)-regio...
متن کاملJacalin interaction with human immunoglobulin A1 and bovine immunoglobulin G1: affinity constant determined by piezoelectric biosensoring.
The affinity of the D-galactose-binding lectin from Artocarpus heterophyllus lectin, known as jacalin, with immonuglobulins (Igs) was determined by biofunctionalization of a piezoelectric transducer. This piezoelectric biofunctionalized transducer was used as a mass-sensitive analytical tool, allowing the real-time binding analysis of jacalin-human immunoglobulin A1 (IgA(1)) and jacalin-bovine ...
متن کاملForging Ahead
Editorial Forging Ahead 'All I know,' wrote Seamus Heaney, 'is a door into the dark 1 .' Me too. The world of radiology is figuratively and perhaps, on occasion, literally just that. Our game is the image, not the written word. Pretty pictures. Yet, now we increasingly find ourselves integral to the medical paradigm. This, clearly, is no reflection on us, but underpins the requirement, primacy,...
