Cellular localization of immunoglobulins with different allotypic specificities in rabbit lymphoid tissues
TL;DR: The cellular localization of allotypes in rabbit lymphoid tissues has been studied by immunofluorescence and double staining for two allotypes controlled by genes at different loci has shown the presence of cells containing immunoglobulins that lack one allotype.

Abstract: The cellular localization of allotypes in rabbit lymphoid tissues has been studied by immunofluorescence. In heterozygous animals the double staining for two allotypes controlled by allelic genes (A1 and A2; A4 and A5; A4 and A6) has shown the existence of two populations of plasma cells, one containing one allotype and the other the alternative one. The localization in different cells of immunoglobulins marked by allelic allotypic specificities has been confirmed by microspectrography of single cells. An exception to this rule was given by the presence in the germinal centers of lymphoid follicles of apparently uniform mixtures of products of the two allelic genes.
Double staining for two allotypes controlled by genes at different loci showed, instead, the presence of many cells containing both allotypes; the number of these cells was highest in doubly homozygotes, in the other it was consistent with random association of non-allelic specificities.
In addition double staining for one allotype and gamma G globulins in the lymphoid tissues of rabbits homozygous at the a or at the b locus, has shown the presence of cells containing immunoglobulins that lack one allotype.

TL;DR: It is shown that mature, primary mouse and human B cells can be edited in vitro using CRISPR/Cas9 to express mature bNAbs from the endogenous Igh locus, and edited B cells retain the ability to participate in humoral immune responses.

[9] Antiallotypic antibodies
Susan Jackson,Thomas J. Kindt +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of antiallotypic antibodies, defined as intraspecies antigenic markers of immunoglobulins, which are distinguished from isotypes by the fact that allotypes are genetically determined whereas isotypes are present in every individual within a given species.

CTCF mediated genome architecture regulates the dosage of mitotically stable mono-allelic expression of autosomal genes
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the linear and the three dimensional architectures of the genome ascribe the appropriate framework that guides the mono-allelic expression of genes, wherein the alleles are insulated from the spatial interference of chromatin and transcriptional states from neighbouring bi-alleic domains via CTCF mediated chromatin loops.

Studies on antibody production i. a method for the histochemical demonstration of specific antibody and its application to a study of the hyperimmune rabbit
TL;DR: Small amounts of antibody were occasionally visible in cells in the lymphoid follicles of the spleen and lymph nodes, so that a minor contribution by lymphocytes to antibody synthesis cannot be excluded.

Allotypy of rabbit serum proteins : i. immunochemical analysis leading to the individualization of seven main allotypes
TL;DR: It was concluded that at least one serum protein antigen, the specificity of which so far has been considered to be uniform throughout the animal species, can instead be present in different individuals as different forms or allotypes with somewhat different antigenic specificities.
