چکیده
The 'Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Diversity (IGHD) and Joining (IGHJ) segments', fifth report of the 'IMGT Locus on Focus' section, comprises six tables entitled: (1) 'Human germline IGHD segments at 14q32.33'; (2) 'Human IGHD alleles'; (3) 'Human germline IGHJ segments at 14q32.33'; (4) 'Human IGHJ alleles'; (5) 'Human germline IGHD orphons on chromosome 15 (15q11.2)'; (6) 'Correspondence between the different human IGHD nomenclatures', and two figures: (1) 'Protein display of human IGH D-REGIONs'; (2) 'Protein display of human IGH J-REGIONs'. These tables and figures are available at the IMGT Marie-Paule page from IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database (http://imgt.cnusc.fr:8104) created by Marie-Paule Lefranc, Université Montpellier II, CNRS, France.

Development of a Bioinformatics Framework for the Detection of Gene Conversion and the Analysis of Combinatorial Diversity in Immunoglobulin Heavy Chains in Four Cattle Breeds
We have developed a new bioinformatics framework for the analysis of rearranged bovine heavy chain immunoglobulin (Ig) variable regions by combining and refining widely used alignment algorithms. This bioinformatics framework allowed us to investigate alignments of heavy chain framework regions (FRHs) and the separate alignments of FRHs and heavy chain complementarity determining regions (CDRHs...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of immunoglobulin genes reveals frequent clonal relatedness in double monoclonal gammopathies
Monoclonal gammopathies (MGs) are hematological diseases characterized by high levels of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) or M-protein. Within this group are patients with more than one M-protein, referred to as double MGs (DMGs). The M-proteins in DMG patients may have different heavy chain (HC) isotypes that are associated with different light chains (LCs), or different HCs that are LC matche...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin diversity gene usage predicts unfavorable outcome in a subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.
Survival of patients with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) can be predicted by analysis of mutations in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene (IGHV). Patients without mutations (unmutated [UM]) are at greater risk for disease progression and death than patients with mutations (M). Despite this broad prognostic difference, there remains wide intragroup variation in the clinical...
متن کاملDevelopmental progression of equine immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region diversity.
Humoral immunity is a critical component of the immune system that is established during fetal life and expands upon exposure to pathogens. The extensive humoral immune response repertoire is generated in large part via immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain variable region diversity. The horse is a useful model to study the development of humoral diversity because the placenta does not transfer mater...
متن کاملExpansion of the Preimmune Antibody Repertoire by Junctional Diversity in Bos taurus
Cattle have a limited range of immunoglobulin genes which are further diversified by antigen independent somatic hypermutation in fetuses. Junctional diversity generated during somatic recombination contributes to antibody diversity but its relative significance has not been comprehensively studied. We have investigated the importance of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) -mediated jun...
