High-affinity IgG antibodies develop naturally in Ig-knockout rats carrying germline human IgH/Igκ/Igλ loci bearing the rat CH region.
Mice transgenic for human Ig loci are an invaluable resource for the production of human Abs. However, such mice often do not yield human mAbs as effectively as conventional mice yield mouse mAbs. Suboptimal efficacy in delivery of human Abs might reflect imperfect interaction between the human membrane IgH chains and the mouse cellular signaling machinery. To obviate this problem, in this stud...
متن کاملHuman antibody expression in transgenic rats: comparison of chimeric IgH loci with human VH, D and JH but bearing different rat C-gene regions.
Expression of human antibody repertoires in transgenic animals has been accomplished by introducing large human Ig loci into mice and, more recently, a chimeric IgH locus into rats. With human VH, D and JH genes linked to the rat C-region antibody expression was significantly increased, similar to wild-type levels not found with fully human constructs. Here we compare four rat-lines containing ...
متن کاملA Multifunctional Element in the Mouse Igk Locus That Specifies Repertoire and Ig Loci Subnuclear Location
Nonbiased V gene usage for V(D)J joining is essential for providing an optimal immune system, but no cis-acting sequence with this function has been uncovered. We previously identified a recombination silencer and heterochromatin targeting element in the Vk-Jk intervening sequence of germline Igk transgenes, which we termed Sis. We now have generated Sis knockout mice in the endogenous locus. I...
متن کاملDirect high‐throughput amplification and sequencing of immunoglobulin genes from single human B cells
Single cell Ig gene amplification and sequencing has been widely used for the molecular and functional assessment of human antibody repertoires and has led to the identification of recombinant monoclonal antibodies with therapeutic potential against diverse pathogens [1–3]. Due to the high reagent and Sanger sequencing costs, these antibody-cloning strategies are limited to the analysis of rela...
متن کاملChromosomal breakpoints affecting immunoglobulin loci are recurrent in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
Chromosomal breakpoints affecting immunoglobulin (IG) loci are recurrent in many subtypes of B-cell lymphomas. However, despite the predominant B-cell origin of the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), the presence of chromosomal translocations in IG loci has not yet been systematically explored. Therefore, we have investigated a series of cHL for chromoso...
