Role of AID and microRNA-155 in c-myc-IgH Translocations
… B cells, suggesting that these translocations might be the result of aberrant V(D)J recombination. However, in mature B cells undergoing AID dependent somatic hypermutation (SHM), duplications or deletions that would necessitate a double strand break make up 6% of all the Ig V-JH region …

Characterization of Loop Extrusion and Regulatory Elements in IgH Locus Structure and Function
V(D)J recombination is a highly ordered and stepwise process that enables antigen receptors to detect a wide variety of antigens. The Igh locus undergoes large-scale locus contraction prior rearranging in pro B cells. A series of nested chromatin loops anchored by a series of distal VH enhancers, …

Spatial organisation of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus and inter-chromosomal gene networks driving B cell development
… recognize a countless number of antigens. This highly diverse repertoire is produced during B cell development in the bone marrow from the immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) and light chain (Igk and Igl) loci. The mouse Igh is a large (~3Mb) multigene locus that contains 195 variable (V), 10 …

The Role of ZMYND8 in Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination
… actively transcribed immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) switch donor and acceptor DNA. The 3' Regulatory Region (3'RR), a prototypical super-enhancer located at the 3' of the Igh locus, is essential for acceptor switch region transcription, but the mechanism by which it regulates this process is not …

Evidence that ARNT plays a role in the regulation of the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer and identification of a putative ARNT ligand
… ARNT (Ah receptor nuclear translocator) at the IgH (immunoglobulin heavy chain) enhancer. We were able to determine that ARNT appears to partially down-regulate activation at the IgH enhancer by Pan-1 in transient transfection assays by cotransfection of the multimerized murine form of the IgH …

Multilineäre Beteiligung der Leukämogenese in der BCR::ABL1-like Akuten Lymphoblastischen Leukämie
… in 3 von 10 JAK-/STAT-Klassen-Proben. Die IGH::CRLF2-Translokation konnte exemplarisch in CD33/CD13-positiven myeloischen Kompartimenten mit einer Frequenz von 56 % nachgewiesen werden. Weiterhin zeigte eine Probe eine Beteiligung myeloischer Kompartimente mit 11 % bzw. 10 %. Zusätzlich …

Vβ Recombination Signal Sequences Mediate Monoallelic And Monogenic Tcrβ Gene Assembly: Implications For The Tcrβ Repertoire And Allelic Exclusion In Health And Disease
… recombination to form a functional gene. TCRβ, IgH, and Igκ allelic exclusion is achieved by: assembly of an in-frame gene on one allele, transient inhibition of V(D)J recombination signaled by RAG DNA double stranded breaks (DSBs), and the resulting protein sending feedback signals to …

The Role of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase in Antibody Diversification and B Cell Malignancies
… an organism as it gives rise to antibodies of high affinity and avidity crucial in clearance of the antigen by humoral immune response. Aberrant AID activity, however, can lead to c-myc/IgH chromosomal translocations and ultimately to B cell lymphomas and plasmocytomas in mice. Such …

HIV Specific B Cell Response in Patients With Broadly Neutralizing Serum Activity
… Some HIV infected individuals develop high titers of broadly neutralizing IgG antibodies in their serum, but until recently very little was known about the specificity and activity of these antibodies. To characterize the broadly neutralizing memory antibody responses to HIV we cloned …

Investigation of the three dimensional organisation of the genome in B cell development
… multimegabase murine immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) and immunoglobulin kappa chain (Igκ) loci must not only facilitate recombination between gene segments separated by up to 3Mb, but diverse recombination events. To understand how this is achieved a capture Hi-C (CHi-C) approach was developed to …

Bioinformatics pipeline development for analyses of data generated by target capture-based Next-Generation Sequencing, to characterise mutations and the utility of using off-target sequences to detect genomic imbalances in Multiple Myeloma patients.
… gene panel (CGP)/Immunoglobulin Heavy Locus (IGH) tiling array on paired germline/peripheral blood and tumour/bone marrow samples from sixMM patients (aka MM1-MM6). All quality metrics confirmed successful sequencing, genomic alignment and enrichment, corroborating sufficiency for downstream …

Molecular Insights of Primary Thyroid B-cell Lymphomas by Somatic Genetic and Immunogenetic Profiling
… thyroid lymphomas, I investigated the rearranged IGH genes in a cohort of 41 thyroid lymphoma cases. I found significant overrepresentation of several *IGHV* genes including *IGHV1-46*, *IGHV3-23*, *IGHV3-49*, *IGHV4-61* and *IGHV4-34* in thyroid lymphomas. A high proportion (70%) of *IGHV3-23* …

The Extent and Nature Of Chromosomal Rearrangements in B Lymphocytes
… 400 million activated B lymphocytes to two loci, IgH and c-myc. Our data and analysis reveal that proximity between DSBs, transcriptional activity and chromosome territories are key determinants of genome rearrangement. Specifically, rearrangements tend to occur in cis and to transcribed genes. We …
