    Rabbit immunoglobulin A (IgA-g) allotypes show distinct structural differences and shared determinants, indicating evolutionary divergence. These findings highlight multiple genetic mutations during the evolution of IgA-g genes.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Molecular immunology
    • Protein structure analysis

    Background:

    • Rabbit immunoglobulin A (IgA-g) allotypes are crucial for understanding antibody diversity and evolution.
    • Previous studies have suggested variations within these allotypes, but detailed structural comparisons were limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct serologic and structural comparisons of rabbit IgA-g allotypes.
    • To elucidate the evolutionary relationships and genetic basis of rabbit IgA-g diversity.

    Main Methods:

    • Serologic analysis to identify allotypic determinant sites.
    • Structural comparison of alpha chains, including partial amino acid sequencing of Fc2alpha fragments.
    • Analysis of intradomain disulfide bonds in Calpha2 domains.

    Main Results:

    • Rabbit IgA-g allotypes possess multiple allotypic determinant sites.
    • Specificities g74, g76, and g77 share determinants, while g75 is distinct.
    • Amino acid sequences of g75 and g76 alpha chains differ; g74 may have an extra disulfide bond in Calpha2, unlike g75 and g76.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant structural and serologic differences exist among rabbit IgA-g allotypes.
    • Multiple evolutionary mutational events are proposed for the divergence of g74, g75, and g77 genes.
    • These findings provide insights into the genetic mechanisms shaping antibody allotype evolution.
