Distinct isotype-specific factors for immunoglobulin class switch recombination.
… isotype-specific factors for immunoglobulin class switch recombination.

The Role of ZMYND8 in Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination
<p>Class switch Recombination (CSR) also known as Immunoglobulin (Ig) Class switching is a genomic recombination/deletion reaction that diversifies the effector component of the antibody response but preserves antigen specificity. CSR is initiated by the enzyme activation induced cytidine deaminase …

The Role of RNA Helicase RHAU in Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination
… isotypes through a process known as class switch recombination (CSR). In these cells, activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) binds Gquadruplex (G4) switch transcripts, which serve as guide RNAs to target AID to the immunoglobulin heavy chain switch (S) regions in the DNA for CSR. …

Early divergent B cell differentiation during antibody responses
… follicular or GC responses and the amount of class switch recombination (CSR). The expression of phenotypic markers and switched antibody protein in parallel with gene array analysis and single cell real time RT-PCR in responding B cells was used to identify GC and plasmablast precursors and …

Investigation of Ring Finger Protein 8 in Mammalian Physiology and Pathogenesis
… such as immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) class switch recombination (CSR), an important mechanism for antibody diversification and specification of immunoglobulin effector function during a humoral immune response in mammals. Through catalyzing ubiquitylation of the H2A-type histones …

Transcription, Editing, and Switching of Antibody Genes
… J gene segments through a process known as V(D)J recombination. Because of its stochastic nature, V(D)J recombination is expected to create self-reactive specificities. In targeted animals carrying autoantibodies, these specificities were shown to be silenced by deletion, anergy, and receptor …

Regulation of Immunoglobulin Gene Diversification By Noncoding RNA's
… silencing. These mechanisms range from "classical" RNA interference (RNAi), to gene repression by microRNAs (miRNAs), to maintenance of genomic stability by repeatassociated small RNAs. Here, I describe the contribution of miRNA-mediated regulation to a specific case of gene expression …

Characterization of human IgA-inducing protein
… maturation, but have also been implicated in class-switch recombination and B cell lymphoma survival. Recently added to this list of DC-derived factors effecting B cells is IgA-inducing protein (IGIP). Here we characterize production of IGIP by human DCs, and examine its capacity to induce IgA …

Altered Kinetics of Non-Homologous End Joining Mediated DNA Repair in Mouse Models of Aging and Leukemia
… their bone marrow differentiation and peripheral class switch recombination (CSR), thus lending them as a good model system in which to delineate the DNA repair mechanisms. To determine the effect of aging on NHEJ, B lymphocytes from old mice were analyzed. The results showed compromised DNA …

The Role of 53BP1 in DNA Double-Strand Break Repair
… the immune cell diversification reactions V(D)J recombination and Class Switch Recombination (CSR) require the formation of DSB intermediates, a process that is tightly controlled and strictly limited to developing B and T cells. CSR in B cells diversifies antibodies by joining DSBs between …

The Role of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase in Antibody Diversification and B Cell Malignancies
… for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) in B cells. SHM alters the affinity of an antibody for its corresponding antigen by introducing point mutations within the variable region of the immunoglobulin (Ig) gene heavy chain locus. CSR replaces the Ig μ …

The role of human CD23 in lgE homeostasis & allergic disease
… stimulated with IL-4 and anti-CD40 to induce class switching to IgE in vitro. mCD23 was up-regulated and sCD23 accumulated in the medium prior to IgE synthesis. IL-10 and IL-21 were shown to enhance IgE synthesis by increasing cell division and plasma cell differentiation. siRNA inhibition of …

The Effect of Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase Phosphorylation and Herpes Virus Uracil Dna Glycosylase On Antibody Diversification
… of somatic hypermuntation (SHM) and isotype class switch recombination (CSR). AID is targeted to the immunoglobulin gene locus where it deaminates cytosines to generate uracil residues in DNA. This generates guanine-uracil (U:G) mismatch lesion which are recognized by uracil DNA glycosylase …

53BP1/Shieldin Counteract DSB Resection Through Fill-In Synthesis
… at programmed breaks generated during class switch recombination in the immune system. The role of 53BP1 in double strand break (DSB) repair outside of these three well-studied contexts is less clear, though it has been proposed that 53BP1 acts as a master regulator of so-called "DSB …

Characterization of Variable Region Structures and Antigen-Binding Properties of OxLDL-Specific Human Monoclonal Antibody Isolated from PBMC and Atherotic Plaques of Atherosclerosis Patients
… 86~98%. Evidence of somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination was also obtained by analyzing the local expression of mRNA transcripts encoding AID in the atherosclerotic plaque. CONCLUSION: The oxLDL-specific human monoclonal antibody Fabs which have 10~1000 folds higher affinities …

Single-Stranded Dna Scanning And Deamination With Single-Molecule Resolution
… initiation of somatic hypermutation (SHM), and class switch recombination (CSR), by the C deaminations in immunoglobulin genes. Activity of these enzymes requires scanning of single-stranded (ss) DNA substrates to locate deamination motifs and stochastically deaminate them to create mutational …

B cell memory in STAT3 Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Cytokine integration, IgE regulation, and the architecture of human memory B cell subsets
… IL-4 and IL-21 in the regulation of IgE class-switch recombination (CSR). We furthermore show that naïve B cells from most IEI, including STAT3 HIES, do not exhibit an intrinsic propensity for IgE CSR in vitro. Aim 2 (Chapter 4) addressed whether IgE+ B cells exist in humans, and found …
