Characterization of a complete immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region germ-line gene of rainbow trout.
A germ-line heavy-chain variable region (VH) gene (RTVH431) has been isolated from a rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and characterized by complete nucleotide sequencing. It is characteristic of VH, as shown by the conserved octamer and TATA motif in the 5' region, the heptamernonamer recombination signal sequence in the 3' region, and the 18-amino-acid-long hydrophobic leader interrupted by an ...
متن کاملDevelopmental progression of equine immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region diversity.
Humoral immunity is a critical component of the immune system that is established during fetal life and expands upon exposure to pathogens. The extensive humoral immune response repertoire is generated in large part via immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain variable region diversity. The horse is a useful model to study the development of humoral diversity because the placenta does not transfer mater...
متن کاملMouse immunoglobulin heavy chains are coded by multiple germ line variable region genes.
The N-terminal 20 residues of 13 heavy immunoglobulin chains from myeloma protein of the BALB/c mouse are compared with the same residues of 15 other heavy chains described in the literature. Sixteen of 28 sequences are different from one another. These proteins fall into four major sets, with 18 of the proteins in the largest set being further divisible into at least five subsets. This pattern...
متن کاملThe Complete Nucleotide Sequence of the Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region Locus
The complete nucleotide sequence of the 957-kb DNA of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (VH) region locus was determined and 43 novel VH segments were identified. The region contains 123 VH segments classifiable into seven different families, of which 79 are pseudogenes. Of the 44 VH segments with an open reading frame, 39 are expressed as heavy chain proteins and 1 as mRNA, while t...
متن کاملMouse heavy chain variable regions: nucleotide sequence of a germ-line VH gene segment.
We have constructed a library of Balb/c mouse embryo DNA in the vector Charon 4A. The library was searched for sequences homologous to the VH region of a cloned cDNA of the UPC10 heavy chain mRNA. In this paper, we describe the structure and the partial nucleotide sequence of one of such clones (VH441). The nucleotide sequence of this germ-line gene indicates that it encodes amino-acids 1-98 of...
