  1. Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangement Lu Tian Deb Walter

  2. Immunoglobulin • A Y-shaped protein produced by B cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects (bacteria and viruses). • Each antibody contains a paratope that is specific for one particular epitope on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody

  3. Isotypes • IgA • IgD • IgE • IgG • IgM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mono-und-Polymere.svg

  4. Structure of Immunoglobulin http://www.ebioscience.com/knowledge-center/antigen/immunoglobulin/structure.htm

  5. Immunoglobulin diversity 1 Domain variability 2V(D)J recombination 3 Somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation 4 Class switching 5 Affinity designations

  6. Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangements • The ability of cells of the immune system to make antibodies requires multiple programmed rearrangementsof immunoglobulin genes. • Randomly combines Variable, Diverse, and Joining gene segments in vertebrate lymphocytes. • Because of its randomness in choosing different genes, is able to diversely encode proteins to match antigens .

  7. Rearrangement in Heavy Chain V, D, J First, D-J recombination followed by the joining of V gene segment, forming a rearranged VDJ gene segment. Any DNA between these gene segments is deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V(D)J_recombination

  8. Rearrangement in Light Chain Two types of chains: The kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) chains, but Only V and J the immunoglobulin rearrange in a similar way http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/gen-2.jpg
