1 Immunoglobulins Structure and Function By Eisa Salehi PhD Department of Immunology

2 Immunoglobulins:Structure and Function Definition: Glycoprotein molecules that are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen and which function as antibodies Immune serum Ag adsorbed serum α1α1 α2α2 β γ + - albumin globulins Mobility Amount of protein

3 Basic Immunoglobulin Structure Immunoglobulins - heterogeneous Myeloma proteins - homogeneous immunoglobulins Immunoglobulin vs. Antibody

4 Immunoglobulin Structure Heavy & Light Chains Disulfide bonds Inter-chain Intra-chain C H1 VLVL CLCL VHVH C H2 C H3 Hinge Region Carbohydrate Disulfide bond

5 Immunoglobulin Structure Variable & Constant Regions V L & C L V H & C H Hinge Region C H1 VLVL CLCL VHVH C H2 C H3 Hinge Region Carbohydrate Disulfide bond

6 Immunoglobulin Structure Domains V L & C L V H & C H1 - C H3 (or C H4 ) Oligosaccharides C H1 VLVL CLCL VHVH C H2 C H3 Hinge Region Carbohydrate Disulfide bond

7 Immunoglobulin Fragments: Structure/Function Relationships Fab Ag binding Valence = 1 Specificty determined by V H and V L Papain Fc Fab Fc Effector functions

8 Immunoglobulin Fragments: Structure/Function Relationships Fab Ag binding Fc Effector functions F(ab’) 2 Pepsin Fc Peptides F(ab’) 2

9 Immunoglobulin Fragments: Structure/Function Relationships Ag Binding Complement Binding Site Placental Transfer Binding to Fc Receptors

10 Structure of the Variable Region Hypervariable (HVR) or complimentarity determining regions (CDR) Framework regions

11 Human Immunoglobulin Classes IgG - Gamma (γ) heavy chains IgM - Mu (μ) heavy chains IgA - Alpha (α) heavy chains IgD - Delta (δ) heavy chains IgE - Epsilon (ε) heavy chains

34 Immunoglobulin: Isotypes, Allotypes and Idiotypes

35 Human IgM antiserum Reacts with IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE React with IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE Absorbed antiserum Reacts only with IgM Recognizes determinants specific for μ heavy chains (isotypes) Immunoglobulin Isotypes ??

36 Immunoglobulin Isotypes Definition - Antigenic determinants that characterize the classes and subclasses of heavy chains and types and subtypes of light chains

37 Immunoglobulin Isotypes Occurrence Importance Ig levels B cell tumors Immunodeficiencies Definition Location IgM (kappa) حسن IgG1 (kappa) حسن

38 Immunoglobulin Allotypes Definition - Antigenic determinants specified by allelic forms of the Ig genes Location Occurrence – Source of anti-allotypic Abs IgG1 (kappa) نقی IgG1 (kappa) حسن

39 Human Immunoglobulin Allotypes Nomenclature – G1m(3) – Km(1)

40 Human Immunoglobulin Allotypes Genetics (alleles) – Co-dominant autosomal genes Km(1)/Km(3) X Km(1)/Km(1) Km(1)/Km(1) and Km(1)/Km(3) – Allelic exclusion

41 Genetics (pseudoalleles) Co-dominant G1m(17)G1m(1) 214355-358 Human Immunoglobulin Allotypes

42 Immunoglobulin Allotypes Definition Location Occurrence Importance Monitoring bone marrow grafts Forensic medicine Paternity testing

43 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Definition - Unique antigenic determinants present on individual antibody molecules or on molecules of identical specificity

44 DNP-BSA Strain A Mouse Anti-DNP Ab Purified anti-DNP Ab Strain A Mouse Ab against combining site of anti-DNP Ab Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Antigenic determinants created by the HVR = Idiotypes

45 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Definition Location IgG1 (kappa) نقی anti-B IgG1 (kappa) نقی anti-A

46 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Definition Location Importance V region marker Regulation of immune responses

47 AgIdanti-Id + - anti-anti-Id + - Regulation by Id/anti-Id
