Genetic and Structural Evidence for Antigen Selection of Anti-DNA Antibodies

Radic, M.Z.·1994·Annual Review of Immunology

Abstract

The primary structure of anti-DNA antibodies is highly diverse, a result of different germline variable (V) gene use, different combinations of immunoglobulin gene segments, peculiar heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (H-CDR3) segments, and somatic mutations. Nevertheless, tertiary structure predictions reveal common features that yield information about likely contact sites in the anti-DNA combining site. That these contacts are involved with DNA binding is supported by recurrent features of a newly compiled set of homology groups of 13 variable regions of heavy chains (VH) and 11 variable regions of light chains (VL), characteristic pattern of somatic mutations, and the results of site-directed mutagenesis. The role of antigen in the etiology of the autoimmune response is viewed in light of recent data on overlaps between anti-DNA and anti-nucleic acid binding protein specificities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
