Anti-IgM treatment influences immunoglobulin heavy and light chain mRNA levels in mitogen-stimulated B lymphocytes. 1985

T Leanderson, and E Hsu

The mechanism by which soluble anti-IgM inhibits plaque formation by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B cells was investigated. Since lower amounts of immunoprecipitable mu heavy and kappa light chains were found in cell lysates, this indicated that soluble anti-IgM was inhibiting not only secretion. Subsequently, Northern blot analysis of poly(A+) RNA showed that the steady state levels of mRNA for immunoglobulin heavy and light chain from B cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide were reduced if the cultures were treated with soluble anti-IgM. The steady-state levels of class I major histocompatibility complex antigen RNA were unaffected by anti-IgM treatment. Addition of supernatants from mouse spleen cells stimulated with concanavalin A at day 2 of culture partially reversed the effect of soluble anti-IgM on immunoglobulin expression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007143 Immunoglobulin Heavy Chains The largest of polypeptide chains comprising immunoglobulins. They contain 450 to 600 amino acid residues per chain, and have molecular weights of 51-72 kDa.

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.

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.

D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci.
