To date, most jawed vertebrate species encode more than one immunoglobulin light (IgL) chain isotypes. It has been shown that several bird species (chickens, white Pekin or domestic duck, and zebra finches) exclusively express lambda isotype. We analyze here the genomic organization of another bird species turkey IgL genes based on the recently released genome data. The turkey IgL locus located on chromosome 17 spans approximately 75.2kb and contains a single functional V(λ) gene, twenty V(λ) pseudogenes, and a single functional J(λ)-C(λ) block. These data suggest that the genomic organization of bird IgL chain genes seems to be conserved. Ten cDNA clones from turkey Igλ chain containing almost full-length V(λ), J(λ) and C(λ) segments were acquired. The comparison of V(λ) cDNA sequences to all the germline V(λ) segments suggests that turkey species may be generating IgL chain diversity by gene conversion and somatic hypermutation like the chicken. This study provides insights into the immunoglobulin light chain genes in another bird species. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to bovine immunoglobulin heavy chain of the four major isotypes gamma 1, gamma 2, alpha, mu and the light chains (combined kappa and lambda) were produced and found to cross-react in enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) with immunoglobulins of some other animal species despite the discrete specificity associated with an antibody derived from a single clone. This cross-reactivity, particularly amongst ruminants, could be utilized in serological testing for the diagnosis of disease in these species. For example, Mabs produced against bovine immunoglobulin light chain cross-react with bison immunoglobulin light chain and were used successfully in serological testing as the secondary detection antibody in an indirect ELISA for the diagnosis of Brucella abortus in bison herds in north-western Canada. 相似文献

Marsupial young are born in an under-developed state without mature immune responses. Prior to the maturation of an immune system, marsupial young are heavily reliant upon immune factors secreted in the milk to defend them against potential microbial pathogens in the environment. In this study, we identified and characterized the immunoglobulin heavy chain constant regions, light chains, polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR), J chain, neonatal Fc receptor (alpha chain) (FcRn) and the chemokine CCL28 from the model marsupial species, the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii). Low levels of conservation were seen in motifs in C and Cγ associated with receptor binding and or transcytosis, and this may have potential implications for functionality. We evaluated the expression of immunoglobulin genes in the tammar mammary gland throughout lactation and found that two periods of increased expression of immunoglobulin genes occur. These two periods coincide with the birth of the young, and with its first emergence from the pouch. This increased expression may represent a strategy for maternal immunological protection of the pouch young. 相似文献

The existence of two types of the immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain in pigs was documented>30 years ago and has been confirmed by the cloning of porcine light chain genes homologous to human and murine Ig kappa (Igkappa) and Ig lambda (Iglambda). However, immunochemical reagents defining these two light chain isotypes have not been characterized. Here, we show that rabbit antisera specific for human Igkappa and Iglambda and certain anti-porcine light chain monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are useful in distinguishing light chain isotypes by flow cytometry (FCM). Porcine B cell lines L23 and L35 stained positive only with anti-human Iglambda antiserum and were negative when tested using anti-human Igkappa antiserum. While mAbs K139.3E1, 1G6 and 27.7.1 also tested positive on these cell lines, mAb 27.2.1 did not. Therefore, FCM was used to examine the hypothesis that K139.3E1, 1G6 and 27.7.1 are Iglambda-specific whereas mAb 27.2.1 recognizes the Igkappa chain in pigs. Double staining of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with pairs of anti-light chain mAbs and using cocktails of anti-light chain mAbs and anti-human polyclonal antiserum, confirmed this hypothesis with the exception that mAb K139.3E1 appears to recognize only a subset of Iglambda(+) B cells in most pigs. In summary, we identified two pan-specific anti-pig Iglambda mAbs, one anti-lambda mAb that recognizes a lambda-light chain subset and one anti-pig Igkappa mAb. 相似文献

This paper describes the domestic livestock of the Republic of Yemen and aspires to complement earlier sources listing or partially describing `breeds'. It attempts to cover all species and provide indications of production parameters through a literature review and via field observations made by the author in 1999. Information is provided on livestock numbers and the economic importance of animal production. Most animals are kept in sedentary mixed crop–livestock production systems; transhumant systems have the next greatest number of stock; with nomadic systems being of least and declining importance. Yemen's livestock appear to comprise at least 11 breeds of sheep, 5 breeds of goat, 2 breeds of cattle, 4 breeds of camel, 2 breeds of donkey and 1 breed of horse. There are no data on breeds of poultry but domestic fowl (where clearly considerable diversity exists) and pigeons are kept. There is little formal information on the history and relationships of most breeds. Some appear to be of ancient local origin, whereas others show affinities with those of neighbouring and other countries. None of the identified types is considered endangered, so conservation would be premature. A more formal and detailed genetic characterization, to add to the largely morphological and traditional classification, may, however, reveal such a need. 相似文献

Bovine C mu, C gamma, C alpha and C epsilon genes were cloned in an EMBL4 recombinant phage library using rabbit immunoglobulin switch mu (Su) and human C gamma as probes. Restriction mapping and Southern blot analyses of these clones identified one clone which hybridized with rabbit C mu and JH probes. The HG and C mu regions were separated by 6 kb of DNA. One C alpha and one C epsilon gene were found on overlapping clones and were separated by approximately 15 kb of DNA. Southern blot analysis of germline DNA with a bovine C alpha associated probe (S alpha) indicated that the germline contains a single C alpha gene. Similar analyses with a bovine C epsilon probe indicated that the germline contains either one C epsilon gene with allelic restriction polymorphism or two C epsilon genes. Three C gamma genes were cloned and did not overlap with one another. Southern blot analyses of germline DNA with a bovine C gamma probe indicated that the germline contains a total of four C gamma genes. The genes cloned correspond to three of the four genes identified by Southern blot analysis. The orientation of each CH gene was assigned by hybridization with S mu or S gamma probes. The S gamma probe hybridized to DNA immediately adjacent to all three C genes; the S probe hybridized to DNA immediately adjacent to the C mu, C alpha and C epsilon genes. Unexpectedly, the S mu probe also hybridized with a segment of DNA approximately 7 kb downstream of the C mu gene. This may represent a switch region for C gamma. 相似文献

Members of the family Camelidae contain unconventional 'heavy chain' antibodies (HCAbs) that are devoid of light chains (LCs) in their structure and occur under physiological conditions. The spectrum of antigenic specificities in HCAbs and hence their biological significance is not known at present. Recent studies have however indicated that they contribute significantly towards the immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor diversity. The present study was planned to investigate the natural antibody (NAb) activity in camel HCAbs as further indication of the wide spectrum of their antigenic specificities. Detection of NAbs in the sera and isolated HCAbs of Indian Thar desert camels was undertaken against erythrocyte antigens (E-Ags) from eleven animal species including nine mammals, chicken and frog by using direct haemagglutination (HA) and indirect Coombs' test. HCAbs were found to behave as 'incomplete antibodies' and agglutinated erythrocytes of different animal species in indirect Coombs' test using rabbit anti-camel IgG3 (HCAbs) antiserum. Variations were noticed in the Coombs' titres against erythrocytes from different species. HCAbs also reacted against E-Ags in immunoblots. These findings provide further evidence that camelid HCAbs are produced against diverse antigens (Ags) under natural conditions, thereby contributing to camelid Ig receptor diversity. 相似文献

Domestic animals belonging to seven different species (cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, pigs, chicken and goats) were investigated as natural reservoirs for attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC). For this, 2165 E. coli strains from faeces of 803 animals were examined for the presence of the intimin -(eae) gene as a characteristic of AEEC strains. Ten percent of the animals were found to excrete AEEC, most frequently found in sheep (19.2%) and pigs (17.6), followed by cattle (10.4%), dogs (7.2%), cats (6.5%) and poultry (2.3%). The 97 AEEC strains from animals were grouped into 44 serotypes. Only four E. coli serotypes (O2:H8, O26:[H11], O109:[H25] and O145:[H28] were found in more than one animal host species. AEEC O26:[H11] strains were most frequently isolated (13.4%) being present in cattle, poultry, pigs and sheep. A search for virulence markers associated with enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) revealed Shiga-toxin genes in three (3.1%) AEEC strains from sheep. Bundle forming pili genes as a trait of typical enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) were detected in four (4.1%) strains from dogs and cats. The remaining 90 AEEC strains were classified as atypical EPEC. Typing of intimin genes revealed intimin beta being present in 51.5% of the strains, followed by intimins theta (23.7%), epsilon (6.2%), kappa (5.2%), zeta (5.2%), alpha, eta and iota (each 1.0%). Our data indicate that domestic animals and pets constitute an important natural reservoir of AEEC strains, and some of these (O26:[H11], O103:H2, O128:H2, O145:[H28] and O177:[H11]) are known to occur as pathogens in humans. 相似文献

Proliferation of disease pathogens capable of affecting humans, domestic livestock and wildlife increasingly threatens environmental
security and biodiversity. Livestock and wild animals in proximity to human beings are often in the chain of transmission
and infection. Globalization of industrial livestock production (especially poultry upon which so much of the burgeoning human
population depends) often permits transcontinental disease spread. Rapidly expanding (and often illegal) international trade
in wild and domestic animals and their products are increasingly involved in the emergence of new diseases that may have the
ability to transmit among humans, livestock and wildlife. Rapidly increasing urbanization has led in many places to overcrowded
townships that rely on “bushmeat” for sustenance and has contributed to the emergence of virulent zoonotic pathogens. The
emergence and proliferation of pathogens are exacerbated by anthropogenic transformation of natural landscapes in order to
increase agricultural and livestock production. This paper posits that data gathered by veterinary ecologists should be interpreted
and used by other disciplines. The importance of a thorough knowledge of the “natural history” (ecology) of the disease agent
and its human, domestic and wild hosts is stressed. 相似文献

Infectious diseases are detrimental to the health and economy of the livestock industry. Observations of cattle resistant to natural infections have implied the feasibility of breeding livestock for disease resistance. Studies of pigs selected for antibody (AMIR)- and cell (CMIR)-mediated immune responses have demonstrated increased immune responsiveness suggesting enhanced protection by both type 2 and type 1 responses, respectively. Additionally, natural or artificial infections of cattle suggest that the production of particular immunoglobulin (Ig) M, IgG1 and IgG2 isotypes are important for protecting against pathogens. In fact, IgG1/IgG2 ratios are often used to establish whether type 1 (CMIR) or type 2 (AMIR) responses predominate following immunization or infection. The objectives of this study were therefore; (1) to evaluate the Ig isotype bias responses to Candida albicans and hen-egg white lysozyme (HEWL) in cows classified as high responders (HR), average responders (AR) or low responders (LR) based on AMIR or CMIR; (2) to determine if ranking based on IFN-γ (a type 1 cytokine) and DTH responses were analogous in terms of ranking; and (3) to estimate IFN-γ, Ig isotypes, and DTH correlations. Antibody responses to HEWL and DTH to C. albicans were detected such that cows were phenotypically classified as HR, AR and LR for AMIR or CMIR with significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among classified groups. C. albicans-induced IFN-γ allowed classification of cows, some of which had the same ranking as that of DTH response. The lowest IgG1/IgG2 ratio was to the C. albicans purified antigen (candin), but no differences were observed in anti-HEWL or anti-candin IgG1/IgG2 ratios between classified groups. Anti-HEWL IgG1 and IgG2 responses at day 21 post-immunization were negatively and significantly correlated with DTH to candin at 24h. There were no significant correlations between anti-HEWL or anti-candin IgG1 or IgG2 responses with IFN-γ. Based on Ig isotype bias, IFN-γ and DTH responses, it was concluded that immunization with C. albicans can be used to classify CMIR responder cows based on DTH read-out. 相似文献

Studies of the molecular biology of lymphoid cells have markedly increased our understanding of how millions of different antibodies can be synthesized by a single animal. To date, the most detailed understanding has been achieved for the mouse, primarily because of the relatively greater experimental availability of this species. These studies, as well as those involving other species, have shown that the complete genes for antibody polypeptide chains are assembled from disparate genetic elements which are originally widely separated in the genome. The assembly process itself, together with the coding information present in the germ line genetic elements, contributes to the diversity of structure (and thus combining specificities) shown by mature antibody molecules. Specifically, the diversity of structure characteristic of antibody variable regions is due to three distinct mechanisms: innate variability of germ line genes; mismatching of individual gene segments during their somatic rearrangement leading to junctional diversity; and somatic mutation in variable region genetic material during or after the rearrangement. These processes lead to the wide array of combining specificities that permit the humoral immune system of a mature animal to interact with essentially any non-self antigen which it encounters. Complex genetic rearrangements are also responsible for the class switching phenomenon long known to be characteristic of the humoral immune response. A form of homologous recombination between constant region genes, possibly mediated by specific "switching" enzymes, is now believed to be involved in this phenomenon. It is also currently believed that the restriction of gene rearrangement processes to one of the two possible chromosomes of a diploid pair in each cell is responsible for the phenomenon of allelic exclusion that has long been associated with the normal functioning of mammalian B-cells. 相似文献
