Fluorochrome-labeled, human immunoglobulins (Igs) were used to characterize peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subsets that had Fc receptors (FcRs) for the three major isotype classes, IgG, IgA and IgM. Relatively high concentrations of these Igs were needed to saturate FcRs. However, by ...
(Balakrishnan and Adams, 1995). Within the MHCgene familythere are two main classes of molecules: MHC class I and MHC class II. Class I molecules present virus-derived peptides to CD8+ T-lymphocytes, which kill virus-infected cells. Class II molecules present peptides from extracellular ...
Immunoglobulins also called as antibodies are the glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells i.e. white blood cells. The antibody immune response is highly complex and very specific. The various immunoglobulin classes and subclasses (isotypes) differ in their biological features, structure, target...
fungi can be considered as the major kingdoms of multicellular life [136], though multicellular eukaryotes also occur within the Chromista (e.g. marine brown algae and oomycetes). While a majority of cellular features and functions are shared between these three prominent eukaryotic kingdoms, import...

Protein A, while less harmful to the host compared to superantigens, may also serve as a means of immune evasion by binding to the Fc fragment of immunoglobulins (i.e. IgG) resulting in loss of antibody function. As shown herein, the Map protein and its effective regions or subdomains ...

constant regions define the five classes of antibody (IgG, IgA, IgM,IgD, and IgE) as well as the four subclasses of IgG and two subclasses of IgA [54]. As will be discussed later,Ig classand subclass are important determinants of the anatomic distribution and biologic function of antibodies...
