CLASS, SUBCLASS, AND ALLELIC EXCLUSION OF MEMBRANE-BOUND Ig OF HUMAN B LYMPHOCYTES
نویسندگان
چکیده
Membrane-bound immunoglobulins of peripheral blood B lymphocytes and of lymphocytes from an IgG chronic lymphocytic leukemia showed restriction to one immunoglobulin class, one IgG subclass, and one Gm allotype. Certain antigens in the C-terminal part of IgG Fc were not exposed on the cell surface.

Heritability of Antibody Isotype and Subclass Responses to Plasmodium falciparum Antigens
BACKGROUND It is important to understand the extent to which genetic factors regulate acquired immunity to common infections. A classical twin study design is useful to estimate the heritable component of variation in measurable immune parameters. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS This study assessed the relative heritability of different plasma antibody isotypes and subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3...
متن کاملEvaluation of Naturally Acquired IgG Antibodies to a Chimeric and Non-Chimeric Recombinant Species of Plasmodium vivax Reticulocyte Binding Protein-1: Lack of Association with HLA-DRB1*/DQB1* in Malaria Exposed Individuals from the Brazilian Amazon
The development of modular constructs that include antigenic regions targeted by protective immune responses is an attractive approach for subunit vaccine development. However, a main concern of using these vaccine platforms is how to preserve the antigenic identity of conformational B cell epitopes. In the present study we evaluated naturally acquired antibody responses to a chimeric protein e...
متن کاملSerum IgG3 to the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 is strongly associated with a reduced prospective risk of malaria.
The merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) of Plasmodium falciparum is recognized by human antibodies elicited during natural infections, and may be a target of protective immunity. In this prospective study, serum IgG antibodies to MSP2 were determined in a cohort of 329 Gambian children immediately before the annual malaria transmission season, and the incidence of clinical malaria in the followi...
متن کاملHuman immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptor IIA (CD32) polymorphism and IgG2-mediated bacterial phagocytosis by neutrophils.
Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptor IIa (Fc gamma RIIa; CD32) is expressed on phagocytes, triggers phagocytosis, and represents the sole Fc receptor for IgG (Fc gamma R) capable of interaction with IgG2, the main IgG subclass induced in response to bacterial capsular polysaccharides. The two genetically determined structurally different allotypes of human Fc gamma RIIa, the products of the...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein deficiency and dyslipoproteinemia associated with venous thrombosis in men.
BACKGROUND Although dyslipoproteinemia is associated with arterial atherothrombosis, little is known about plasma lipoproteins in venous thrombosis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined plasma lipoprotein subclass concentrations using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and antigenic levels of apolipoproteins AI and B in blood samples from 49 male venous thrombosis patients and matc...
