Exon Recombination

3.1K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.7K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

2.1K
Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Antibody Structure and Classes01:25

Antibody Structure and Classes

7.6K
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are produced by B cells in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. These proteins are critical for recognizing and neutralizing these substances, protecting the body from potential harm.
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains.

Area of Science:

  • * Molecular genetics and cattle genomics.
  • * Animal breeding and genetic trait analysis.

Background:

  • * The cattle Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II region, including the BoLA-DOA and BoLA-DOB genes, plays a crucial role in immune response.
  • * Understanding genetic polymorphism in these genes is essential for marker-assisted selection in cattle.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To investigate the genetic polymorphism of the second exons of cattle DOA and DOB genes.
  • * To develop PCR-RFLP assays for DOA and DOB typing.
  • * To genetically map the DOA and DOB loci within the BoLA class IIb region.

Main Methods:

  • * Analysis of genetic polymorphism in cattle DOA and DOB genes.
  • * Development of Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assays.
  • * Linkage analysis using the International Bovine Reference Panel for genetic mapping.

Main Results:

  • * Two allelic variants were detected in the cattle DOA gene, corresponding to amino acid residue variation.
  • * Four allelic variants were found in the cattle DOB gene, with non-informative nucleotide substitutions.
  • * Both DOA and DOB loci were successfully mapped to the BoLA class IIb region.

Conclusions:

  • * Single nucleotide polymorphisms in BoLA-DOA and BoLA-DOB genes are identified.
  • * These polymorphisms can serve as valuable markers for genetic trait analyses in cattle.
  • * The genetic mapping provides a foundation for further studies on immune-related traits in cattle.
