TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced the genome of spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), whose lineage diverged from teleosts before teleost genome duplication (TGD).
Journal ArticleDOI
α, β, γ, and δ T Cell Antigen Receptor Genes Arose Early in Vertebrate Phylogeny
Jonathan P. Rast,Michele K. Anderson,Scott J. Strong,Carl A. Luer,Ronda T. Litman,Gary W. Litman +5 more
TL;DR: A series of products were amplified using a PCR strategy based on short minimally degenerate primers and R. eglanteria (clearnose skate) spleen cDNA as template.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatic variation precedes extensive diversification of germline sequences and combinatorial joining in the evolution of immunoglobulin heavy chain diversity.
TL;DR: A heretofore unrecognized contribution of somatic variation that preceded both extensive diversification of the germline repertoire and the combinatorial joining process in the evolution of humoral immunity is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic organization and structure of Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase: localization of mutations associated with varied clinical presentations and course in X chromosome-linked agammaglobulinemia
Yuko Ohta,Robert N. Haire,Ronda T. Litman,Shu Man Fu,Robert P. Nelson,Jamie Kratz,Stephen J. Kornfeld,Maite de la Morena,Robert A. Good,Gary W. Litman,Gary W. Litman +10 more
TL;DR: Considerable variation in presentation and disease course in X chromosome-linked agammaglobulinemia appears associated with the nature and position of different missense mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune-type receptor genes in zebrafish share genetic and functional properties with genes encoded by the mammalian leukocyte receptor cluster

TL;DR: Antibody-induced crosslinking of Nitrs that have been introduced into a human natural killer cell line inhibits the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase that is triggered by natural killer-sensitive tumor target cells.
