    Description: Receptor editing, clonal deletion, and anergy are the mechanisms by which B cells maintain tolerance to self antigens. To determine the extent to which receptor editing shapes the normal antibody repertoire, we generated an immunoglobulin kappa polymorphism that facilitates the detection of editing of immunoglobulin light chains in vivo. We found that B cells are targeted for editing during a 2-hour delay in development at the pre-BII cell stage, and that about 25% of all antibody molecules are produced by gene replacement. These results suggest that receptor editing represents a major force in shaping the antibody repertoire.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Casellas, R -- Shih, T A -- Kleinewietfeld, M -- Rakonjac, J -- Nemazee, D -- Rajewsky, K -- Nussenzweig, M C -- 33890/PHS HHS/ -- R01 AI033608/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Feb 23;291(5508):1541-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11222858" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The clonal selection theory states that B lymphocytes producing high-affinity immunoglobulins are selected from a pool of cells undergoing antibody gene mutation. Somatic hypermutation is a well-documented mechanism for achieving diversification of immune responses in mature B cells. Antibody genes were also found to be modified in such cells in germinal centers by recombination of the variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) segments. The ability to alter immunoglobulin expression by V(D)J recombination in the selective environment of the germinal center may be an additional mechanism for inactivation or diversification of immune responses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Papavasiliou, F -- Casellas, R -- Suh, H -- Qin, X F -- Besmer, E -- Pelanda, R -- Nemazee, D -- Rajewsky, K -- Nussenzweig, M C -- AI33890/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI033608/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Oct 10;278(5336):298-301.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9323210" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Variable, diversity and joining gene segment (V(D)J) recombination assembles immunoglobulin heavy or light chain (IgH or IgL) variable region exons in developing bone marrow B cells, whereas class switch recombination (CSR) exchanges IgH constant region exons in peripheral B cells. Both processes use directed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repaired by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Errors in either V(D)J recombination or CSR can initiate chromosomal translocations, including oncogenic IgH locus (Igh) to c-myc (also known as Myc) translocations of peripheral B cell lymphomas. Collaboration between these processes has also been proposed to initiate translocations. However, the occurrence of V(D)J recombination in peripheral B cells is controversial. Here we show that activated NHEJ-deficient splenic B cells accumulate V(D)J-recombination-associated breaks at the lambda IgL locus (Igl), as well as CSR-associated Igh breaks, often in the same cell. Moreover, Igl and Igh breaks are frequently joined to form translocations, a phenomenon associated with specific Igh-Igl co-localization. Igh and c-myc also co-localize in these cells; correspondingly, the introduction of frequent c-myc DSBs robustly promotes Igh-c-myc translocations. Our studies show peripheral B cells that attempt secondary V(D)J recombination, and determine a role for mechanistic factors in promoting recurrent translocations in tumours.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2907259/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2907259/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Jing H -- Gostissa, Monica -- Yan, Catherine T -- Goff, Peter -- Hickernell, Thomas -- Hansen, Erica -- Difilippantonio, Simone -- Wesemann, Duane R -- Zarrin, Ali A -- Rajewsky, Klaus -- Nussenzweig, Andre -- Alt, Frederick W -- 5P01CA92625/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-010001/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-020001/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-060006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-070006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-080006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA092625-090006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI077595/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI077595-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009382/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009382-27/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009382-28/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 9;460(7252):231-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08159.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19587764" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Interleukin-4 (IL-4) promotes the growth and differentiation of many hematopoietic cells in vitro; in particular, it directs the immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch to IgG1 and IgE. Mice homozygous for a mutation that inactivates the IL-4 gene were generated to test the requirement for IL-4 in vivo. In the mutant mice T and B cell development was normal, but the serum levels of IgG1 and IgE were strongly reduced. The IgG1 dominance in a T cell-dependent immune response was lost, and IgE was not detectable upon nematode infection. Thus, some but not all of the in vitro properties of IL-4 are critical for the physiology of the immune system in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kuhn, R -- Rajewsky, K -- Muller, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Nov 1;254(5032):707-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1948049" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: MicroRNAs are small RNA species involved in biological control at multiple levels. Using genetic deletion and transgenic approaches, we show that the evolutionarily conserved microRNA-155 (miR-155) has an important role in the mammalian immune system, specifically in regulating T helper cell differentiation and the germinal center reaction to produce an optimal T cell-dependent antibody response. miR-155 exerts this control, at least in part, by regulating cytokine production. These results also suggest that individual microRNAs can exert critical control over mammalian differentiation processes in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thai, To-Ha -- Calado, Dinis Pedro -- Casola, Stefano -- Ansel, K Mark -- Xiao, Changchun -- Xue, Yingzi -- Murphy, Andrew -- Frendewey, David -- Valenzuela, David -- Kutok, Jeffery L -- Schmidt-Supprian, Marc -- Rajewsky, Nikolaus -- Yancopoulos, George -- Rao, Anjana -- Rajewsky, Klaus -- AI064345/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Apr 27;316(5824):604-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉CBR Institute for Biomedical Research, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17463289" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In antibody responses, B cells switch from the expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) mu and delta heavy (H) chains to that of other Ig classes (alpha, gamma, or epsilon), each with a distinct effector function. Membrane-bound forms of alpha, gamma, and epsilon, but not mu and delta, have highly conserved cytoplasmic tails. Mutant mice unable to express membrane gamma1 H chains or producing tailless gamma1 H chains failed to generate efficient IgG1 responses and IgG1 memory. H chain membrane expression after class switching is thus required for these functions, and class switching equips the B cell antigen receptor with a regulatory cytoplasmic tail that naive B cells lack.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaisho, T -- Schwenk, F -- Rajewsky, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Apr 18;276(5311):412-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne, Weyertal 121, D-50931 Cologne, Germany. tkaisho@home.hyo-med.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9103199" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Normal intestinal mucosa contains abundant immunoglobulin A (IgA)-secreting cells, which are generated from B cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT). We show that dendritic cells (DC) from GALT induce T cell-independent expression of IgA and gut-homing receptors on B cells. GALT-DC-derived retinoic acid (RA) alone conferred gut tropism but could not promote IgA secretion. However, RA potently synergized with GALT-DC-derived interleukin-6 (IL-6) or IL-5 to induce IgA secretion. Consequently, mice deficient in the RA precursor vitamin A lacked IgA-secreting cells in the small intestine. Thus, GALT-DC shape mucosal immunity by modulating B cell migration and effector activity through synergistically acting mediators.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mora, J Rodrigo -- Iwata, Makoto -- Eksteen, Bertus -- Song, Si-Young -- Junt, Tobias -- Senman, Balimkiz -- Otipoby, Kevin L -- Yokota, Aya -- Takeuchi, Hajime -- Ricciardi-Castagnoli, Paola -- Rajewsky, Klaus -- Adams, David H -- von Andrian, Ulrich H -- AI-061663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- G0601816/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- HL54936/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL56949/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL62524/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI054636/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Nov 17;314(5802):1157-60.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉CBR Institute for Biomedical Research and Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. mora@cbr.med.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17110582" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Upon activation, B lymphocytes can change the class of the antibody they express by immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Cytokines can direct this recombination to distinct classes by the specific activation of repetitive recombinogenic DNA sequences, the switch regions. Recombination to a particular switch region (s gamma 1) was abolished in mice that were altered to lack sequences that are 5' to the s gamma 1 region. This result directly implicates the functional importance of 5' switch region flanking sequences in the control of class switch recombination. Mutant mice exhibit a selective agammaglobulinemia and may be useful in the assessment of the biological importance of immunoglobulin G1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jung, S -- Rajewsky, K -- Radbruch, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Feb 12;259(5097):984-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8438159" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Humanized antibodies are highly efficient as immunotherapeutic reagents and have many advantages over rodent antibodies. A mouse strain was generated by gene targeting to replace the mouse kappa light chain constant (C) region gene with the human C kappa gene. Mice homozygous for the replacement mutation (C kappa R) produced normal concentrations of serum antibodies, most of which carry chimeric kappa light chains, and mounted normal immune responses to hapten-protein conjugates. This technology provides a feasible option for the generation of high-affinity humanized antibodies by means of the powerful somatic hypermutation-selection mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zou, Y R -- Gu, H -- Rajewsky, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Nov 19;262(5137):1271-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genetics, University of Cologne, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8235658" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
