All VH11 genes expressed in peritoneal lymphocytes encode anti-bromelain-treated mouse red blood cell autoantibodies but other VH gene families contribute to this specificity. 1990

We have studied the relationship between B cell reactivity to bromelain-treated autologous mouse erythrocytes (BrMRBC) and expression of the VH11 gene family in splenic, peritoneal and pleuropericardial cell populations from normal C57BL/6 mice. B lymphocytes producing antibodies to BrMRBC were selectively enriched or depleted from normal populations by rosette formation with BrMRBC, followed by centrifugation over density gradients. This selection method, based on the presence of functional receptors (membrane IgM), is harmless for the cells and allowed subsequent cloning in agar (colony-forming unit-B). The utilization of the 10 VH gene families was then scored in mRNA colony blot assays. The analysis of greater than 650 anti-BrMRBC clones and greater than 350 VH11-expressing colonies indicates that about half of those antibody reactivities are encoded by VH11 genes. Furthermore, it appears that all VH11-expressing B cells in the peritoneal cavity produce anti-BrMRBC antibodies.

D008212 Lymphocyte Depletion Immunosuppression by reduction of circulating lymphocytes or by T-cell depletion of bone marrow. The former may be accomplished in vivo by thoracic duct drainage or administration of antilymphocyte serum. The latter is performed ex vivo on bone marrow before its transplantation. Depletion, Lymphocyte
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D010529 Peritoneal Cavity The space enclosed by the peritoneum. It is divided into two portions, the greater sac and the lesser sac or omental bursa, which lies behind the STOMACH.

D001963 Bromelains Protein-digesting and milk-clotting enzymes found in PINEAPPLE fruit juice and stem tissue. Enzymes from the two sources are distinguished as fruit bromelain and stem bromelain.

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
