We have established anti-colon antibodies producing B cell clones from the patient with ulcerative colitis, and analyzed the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) gene segments of these clones using RT-PCR with VH family specific primers. VH3 family was used by all ten clones from ulcerative colitis that produced anti-colon antibodies, while various VH gene families were used by eight clones from normal controls. By nucleotide sequence analysis, two LPL clones were thought to be derived from a germ line gene segment, VH26. However, other three PBL clones were derived from 22-2B, 9-1 and 1.9-III, respectively. These results suggest the heterogeneity of the colonic antigens that autoantibodies in ulcerative colitis recognize.

D003093 Colitis, Ulcerative Inflammation of the COLON that is predominantly confined to the MUCOSA. Its major symptoms include DIARRHEA, rectal BLEEDING, the passage of MUCUS, and ABDOMINAL PAIN. Colitis Gravis,Idiopathic Proctocolitis,Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis Type,Ulcerative Colitis
D003106 Colon The segment of LARGE INTESTINE between the CECUM and the RECTUM. It includes the ASCENDING COLON; the TRANSVERSE COLON; the DESCENDING COLON; and the SIGMOID COLON. Appendix Epiploica,Taenia Coli,Omental Appendices,Omental Appendix,Appendices, Omental,Appendix, Omental
D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).
