Immunoglobulin double-isotype expression by trans-mRNA in a human immunoglobulin transgenic mouse.
We have studied immunoglobulin double-isotype expression in a transgenic mouse (TG.SA) in which expression of the endogenous immunoglobulin heavy chain locus is almost completely excluded by a nonallelic rearranged human mu transgene. By flow-cytometric analyses, we have shown that a small, but significant, portion (about 4%) of transgenic spleen cells expresses human mu (transgene) and mouse g...
متن کاملTrans-splicing as a possible molecular mechanism for the multiple isotype expression of the immunoglobulin gene
We analyzed the molecular mechanism for the immunoglobulin (Ig) multiple isotype expression using a transgenic mouse (TG.SA) model system. Though most of the endogenous mu chain expression was excluded by the expression of the human rearranged mu transgene in the TG.SA mouse, a significant portion of splenic B lymphocytes could express the transgenic human IgM and endogenous mouse IgG simultane...
متن کاملInhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes
The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 m-RNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selecti...
متن کاملOrigin of Immunoglobulin Isotype Switching
BACKGROUND From humans to frogs, immunoglobulin class switching introduces different effector functions to antibodies through an intrachromosomal DNA recombination process at the heavy-chain locus. Although there are two conventional antibody classes (IgM, IgW) in sharks, their heavy chains are encoded by 20 to >100 miniloci. These representatives of the earliest jawed vertebrates possess a pri...
متن کاملPREPARATION OF ENRICHED IMMUNOGLOBULIN M AND IMMUNOGLOBULIN A FROM HUMAN PLASMA
As IgM and IgA-enriched preparations are needed to complete the immunotherapeutic spectrum, a simple procedure is described for the preparation of IgM and IgA enriched immunoglobulins. Fraction III which was prepared by cold ethanol fractionation was treated by octanoic acid followed by ethanol precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography using Sephadex DEAE A-50 and 0.1 M tris-D.35M NaCI ...
