Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRevealed «Oncologic Markers» in the Sea Star Antibody Response to Horse-Radish PeroxydaseMichel Leclerc, Patricia OttenAt least two genes found in the genome of Asterias rubens after immunizations to the antigen Horse-Radish Peroxydase (HRP), could play the role of oncologic markers: The first one (Igkappa chain V-V region T 1 S 107 B precursor) reveals myeloma; The second (B cell CLL/Lymphoma 9-like) as the first one has a kinship to the IgKappa gene subfamily. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2013 · 6,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA True &#34Candidate Ig Kappa Gene&#34 in the Sea-Star: Asterias rubens (Echinoderma)Michel Leclerc, Patricia Otten, Magne OsterasThe axial organ of the sea-star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlated with Ig Kappa gene. A candidate Ig kappa gene (IgK chain V-IV region S107B precursor) more convincing in term of genome was shown. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 7,222 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLike an Invertebrate Primitive AntibodyMichel LeclercSpecific immune responses occur in an invertebrate: The sea star Asterias rubens. Sea star T and B lymphocytes are present in the axial organ and coopere with phagocytes and Complement components to produce a primitive antibody correlated to Igkappa genes and to complement genes: It could be composed of 4 kappa chains and present strong and highly significant homologies to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 7,043 accessesView PDF Cite
