Immunoglobulin λ Gene Rearrangement Can Precede κ Gene Rearrangement
Immunoglobulin genes are generated during differentiation of B lymphocytes by joining gene segments. A mouse pre-B cell contains a functional immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene, but no light-chain gene. Although there is only one heavy-chain locus, there are two light-chain loci: kappa and lambda. It has been reported that kappa loci in the germ-line configuration are never (in man) or very rarely...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of immunoglobulin κ light chain gene rearrangement analysis in B-cell lymphomas
Analysis of the immunoglobulin κ light chain (IGK) gene is an alternative method for B-cell clonality assessment in the diagnosis of mature B-cell proliferations in which the detection of clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements fails. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the added value of standardized BIOMED-2 assay for the detection of clonal IGK gene rearrangement...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin gene rearrangement and cell surface antigen expression in acute lymphocytic leukemias of T cell and B cell precursor origins.
We have explored the relationship among immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, cytoplasmic immunoglobulin production, and cell surface antigen expression within 37 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia. All 12 cases of the T cell type had germ-line kappa and lambda genes and 11 of 12 had germ-line heavy chain genes. In contrast, all 25 cases of the "non-T, non-B" classification, which lacked both def...
متن کاملNF-kappa B/Rel transcription factors: c-Rel promotes airway hyperresponsiveness and allergic pulmonary inflammation.
The NF-kappa B/Rel family of transcription factors induces many genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Mice with germline deletions of individual NF-kappa B/Rel subunits have different phenotypes, suggesting that the NF-kappa B/Rel transcription factors have different functions. We tested whether c-Rel promotes allergic asthma using a murine model of allergen-induced pulmonary inf...
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement in B-cell malignancies.
Rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene has been used as a marker of lineage and clonality in the diagnosis of B lymphoproliferative disorders. A number of PCR-based techniques have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of Southern blotting, the standard technique in detecting IgH gene rearrangement. Using an established seminested PCR technique with consensus primers ...
