Polymorphisms of a human variable heavy chain gene show linkage with constant heavy chain genes.
In this study, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were identified with an immunoglobulin variable heavy chain region (Ig VH) probe and the inheritance of the polymorphisms was analyzed in families. Linkage within the VHII gene cluster and between the VHII and Ig CH genes was investigated by lod (logarithm of odds) score analysis. In addition, the position of the VHII genes was de...
متن کاملLinkage and sequence homology of two human immunoglobulin gamma heavy chain constant region genes.
We report the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding a human immunoglobulin C gamma 2 region. Comparison with the previously determined C gamma 4 sequence reveals that these two genes share extensive (approximately 95%) homology in the three CH domain exons and adjacent noncoding regions. In contrast, hinge exons have diverged to a much greater degree, implying that natural selection has favore...
متن کاملHuman immunoglobulin constant heavy G chain ( IGHG
The distinguished alternative GM allotypes localized in immunoglobulin constant heavy G chains, IGHG (Fc) (GM) genes on chromosome 14q32.3 define two unique variants of respectively IgG3, IgG1 and IgG2 subclass, with different structures and functions. The IGHG allele (allotypes), expressed in homozygous or heterozygous forms, are assessed by new serological methods. Fixed combinations of 3, ...
متن کاملHuman heavy chain variable region gene diversity, organization, and expression.
Elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms which determine the expressed antibody repertoire remains a major challenge in immunology. Knowledge of V gene diversity, organization, and expression is important to an understanding of the formation of the antibody repertoire in normal as well as diseased states. In the last few years, great advances have been made in our understanding of t...
متن کاملLocalization of human variable and constant region immunoglobulin heavy chain genes on subtelomeric band q32 of chromosome 14.
Analysis of a group of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids with nucleic acid probes prepared from cloned human variable region (VH), junctional (JH), and constant region (C epsilon) heavy chain immunoglobulin genes indicates that all of these IgH genes are localized on the subtelomeric (q32) band of chromosome 14. Somatic cell hybrids were isolated in selective medium after fusing human fibroblas...
