Variations in the levels of IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses in the sera of normal, immunized and tumor-bearing hamsters

Abstract

The concentration of IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses in the sera of hamsters bearing tumors of different origins were compared to that of normal serum and to that of sera of animals rendered resistant to tumor take by immunization with viable SV40-transformed cells. In the sera of hamsters bearing tumors induced by virus-transformed cells an augmentation of IgG2 and a diminution of IgG1 was observed during the development of the tumor compared to sera of normal hamsters. In the sera of animals bearing tumors induced by methylcholanthrene ( MCH2 ) or by spontaneously transformed cells ( EHB ) the level of IgG2 was almost normal but IgG1 was barely detectable, especially in MCH2 tumors. On the other hand, the sera of animals immunized with virus-transformed cells showed a slight increase in both IgGs, but only that of IgG2 was significant. Antibody activity was tested in the sera as well as in the IgG1 and IgG2 fractions of the sera of hamsters immunized or bearing tumors induced by SV40 transformed cells. Both sera and the subclasses showed antibody activity, the activity being more pronounced in the IgG2 fraction than in the IgG1 fraction.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
