Two induced anti-Z-DNA monoclonal antibodies use VH gene segments related to those of anti-DNA autoantibodies
1 Mar 1991
Abstract excerpt
The cDNA for H and L chain V regions of two anti-Z-DNA mAb, Z22 and Z44, were cloned and sequenced. These are the first experimentally induced anti-nucleic acid antibody sequences available for comparison with autoantibody sequences. Z22 and Z44 are IgG2b and IgG2a antibodies from C57BL/6 mice. They recognize different facets of the Z-DNA structure. They both use VH10 family genes and share 95% sequence base...
