Regulation of immunoglobulin biosynthesis in the murine plasmacytoma MOPC 315. 1978

G R Siebert, and J F Harris, and M L Gefter

We have examined certain aspects of IgG biosynthesis by constructing hybrids between MPC11 (gamma2b, kappa) and MOPC 315 (alpha,lambda2) that have lost the ability to synthesize one or the other heavy chain. Cells express the three chains in a stable fashion, and both autologous (parental) and heterologous (nonparental) H and L chain pairs form and are secreted. The alpha H chain was found in polymeric form when associated with the heterologous kappa L chain. The lambda2 L chain covalently assembled to the heterologous gamma2b H chain. Surprisingly, autologous pairing was always favored over heterologous pairing in vivo by 5 to 10:1 in terms of rate of assembly. Similar ratios were maintained in the secreted protein. These results suggest that co-expression of particular H and L chain pairs is predetermined. Evolution presumably operates to improve antigen recognition as well as rate of assembly of active molecules.

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.
