Abs of the secretory Ig (SIg) system reinforce numerous innate defense mechanisms to protect the mucosal surfaces against microbial penetration. SIgs are generated by a unique cooperation between two distinct cell types: plasma cells that produce pol

J chain is a small polypeptide covalently attached to polymeric IgA and IgM. In humans and mice, it plays a role in binding Ig to the polymeric Ig receptor for transport into secretions. The putative orthologue of mammalian J chain has been identifie

We have determined the cDNA sequence encoding J chain, a polypeptide accessory molecule associated with polymeric Ig, from the anuran amphibian, Xenopus laevis (South African clawed frog). The translated polypeptide consists of 164 amino acid residue

Although gene segments specifying Igs of all vertebrates show clear homology, their arrangements differ markedly, thereby suggesting that the mechanisms for the generation of diversity and for the regulation of gene expression may be quite distinct.

A full-length cDNA clone specifying sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) immunoglobulin light chain has been isolated and sequenced. By alignment with human lambda chains, the leader, framework, complementarity-determining, joining, and constant reg

The expression of genes encoding T cell receptor (TCR) alpha was used to follow the development of the thymus and to analyze the distribution of T cells in zebrafish. In the thymus, expression was first detected, by in situ hybridization, at four day

As part of an investigation of the immune system in the developing zebrafish, Danio rerio, we cloned and characterized a genomic V H segment and a number of cDNAs encoding IgM heavy chains. The genomic V H has the characteristic features of V H in ot

Immunoglobulins serve as humoral recognition and effector molecules and as antigen-specific cell surface receptors on B and T cells. These molecules are constructed according to a characteristic domain pattern. Variable and constant domains diverged
