Characterization of the bovine epsilon gene.

Abstract:

:Immunoglobulin E is quantitatively a minor immunoglobulin class in serum, but nevertheless the major class of antibody mediating type I hypersensitivity reactions and hence, type I allergic phenomena. The bovine epsilon gene is one of the as yet uncharacterized mammalian immunoglobulin genes. We have therefore cloned and determined the cDNA sequence and genomic organization of the gene. It contains four constant region domain-encoding exons (CH1 to CH4) with a high homology to sheep C epsilon (87%) and to a lower degree to dog (62%), horse (58%), chimpanzee, orangutan, human (55%), mouse (52%) and rat (52%) C epsilon genes. Southern blot analysis of bovine genomic DNA, revealed the existence of a single C epsilon gene with a presence of allelic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

  • Histamine H(4) receptor activation on human slan-dendritic cells down-regulates their pro-inflammatory capacity.

    abstract::6-Sulpho LacNAc dendritic cells (slanDC) are a major population of human blood DC that are highly pro-inflammatory, as characterized by their outstanding capacity to produce tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin-12 (IL-12) and to prime antigen-specific T-cell responses. SlanDC were found to be present in inflamed t...
