Short Answer Questions
424204/22/23
Why is it important to have antibody diversity? Differentiate between the germline theory and the
somatic theory of generation of antibody diversity. How are BOTH germline and somatic mechanisms
sources of antibdoy diversity? Why did the amino acid sequencing of antibody light
chains lead Dryer and Bennet to abandon the one gene- one polypeptide theory and propose that two genes code for a single polypeptide?
434304/22/23
Describe Tonagawa's approach to answering Dreyer and Bennett's hypothesis that two genes code for a single polypeptide.
In addition to showing that DNA seqments come together to form a functional antibody gene, Tonagawa's experiments showed two other things. What were they?
444404/22/23
The phrases "race car", "Madam I am Adam" and "sex at noon taxes" represent pallindromes in the english language.
What are pallindromes in the genetic code and what is their importance in V region construction?
What are the two DNA recombinational events required to assemble a functional heavy chain V region gene?
454504/22/23
The two DNA recombinational events required to assemble a functional heavy chain V region gene, are governed by the 7-9 and the 12-23 rules. Explain.
Discuss four mechanisms that contribute to antibody diversity.
Describe the differential splicing of RNA that progresses from membrane bound IgM to secreted IgM.
464604/22/23
Explain how a particular B cell can secrete different antibody isotypes, yet remain specific for the same epitope.
What are the two stages of class switching? Dicuss allelic exclusion; what it is and how
it is regulated. List in correct chronological order the
events leading to the synthesis of a Kappa light chain and its incorporation into an antibody molecule.
474704/22/23
List in correct chronological order the events leading to the synthesis of a Gamma chain and its incorporation into an antibody molecule.
