Ab-origin: An Improved Tool of Heavy Chain Rearrangement Analysis for Human Immunoglobulin
[chapter]
2007
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
An improved tool to explore the origin of human immunoglobulin heavy chains, named Ab-origin, has been developed. ...
Though only taking the human heavy chain for an example here, the algorithm also suits for the analysis of all immunoglobulin and TCR sequences. ...

Clustering-based identification of clonally-related immunoglobulin gene sequence sets
2010
Immunome Research
Results: We have developed and implemented an algorithm for identifying sets of clonally-related sequences in large human immunoglobulin heavy chain gene variable region sequence sets. ...
The identification of groups of rearranged immunoglobulin gene sequences descended from the same rearrangement (clonally-related sets) in very large sets of sequences is facilitated by the availability ...

Multispecificity of a recombinant anti-ras monoclonal antibody
2017
Journal of Molecular Recognition
Whilst studying the cellular molecular switch protein m-ras, a recombinant monoclonal antibody to m-ras was generated for use as a research tool. ...
The cross reactive binding of the monoclonal Ab to h-ras was defined by peptide array blot revealing that the Ab showed preference for peptide sequences containing multiple positively charged amino acid ...

Ontogeny of Recognition Specificity and Functionality for the Broadly Neutralizing Anti-HIV Antibody 4E10
2014
PLoS Pathogens
The process of antibody ontogeny typically improves affinity, on-rate, and thermostability, narrows polyspecificity, and rigidifies the combining site to the conformer optimal for binding from the broader ...
The ontogeny of 4E10, an autoreactive antibody with unexpected combining site flexibility, was delineated through structural and biophysical comparisons of the mature antibody with multiple potential precursors ...
