Cellular distribution of rabbit IgA allotypes. 1975

W C Hanly, and K L Knight

Intestinal tissue from rabbits heterozygous at one or both of the alpha-chain subclass loci, i.e., f or g, was examined with mixtures of rhodamine-labeled and fluorescein-labeled antibodies each directed against one of the allelic products of the f or g locus. Individual plasma cells were stained by only one fluorescent reagent and thus exhibited both allelic exclusion and sublcass exclusion. In contrast, the epithelial cells of the Lieberkükhn's glands sid not exhibit allelic exclusion. Studies with rabbits heterozygous at the f and g loci revealed that the ratio of the number of cells expressing maternal-type f cells to paternal-type f is equal to the ratio of the number of maternal-type g cells to paternal-type g cells. These data are used to suggest that the expression of each of the genes in the heavy chain chromosomal region of a particular allogroup is under the same control.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007125 Immunogenetics A subdiscipline of genetics which deals with the genetic basis of the immune response (IMMUNITY). Immunogenetic
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. Immunoglobulins, Heavy-Chain,Heavy-Chain Immunoglobulins,Ig Heavy Chains,Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain,Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Subgroup VH-I,Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Subgroup VH-III,Heavy Chain Immunoglobulins,Heavy Chain, Immunoglobulin,Heavy Chains, Ig,Heavy Chains, Immunoglobulin,Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Subgroup VH I,Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Subgroup VH III,Immunoglobulins, Heavy Chain
D007413 Intestinal Mucosa Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI. Intestinal Epithelium,Intestinal Glands,Epithelium, Intestinal,Gland, Intestinal,Glands, Intestinal,Intestinal Gland,Mucosa, Intestinal
D007422 Intestines The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE. Intestine
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D010581 Peyer's Patches Lymphoid tissue on the mucosa of the small intestine. Patches, Peyer's,Peyer Patches,Peyers Patches
