Figure 1From: ImmunoGlobulin galaxy (IGGalaxy) for simple determination and quantitation of immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangements from NGSDiagram of the Immunoglobulin Heavy chain and the regions that are sequenced. (A) Schematic representation of an immunoglobulin protein. The V, D and J part form the variable domain and the C part forms the constant domain of the protein. (B) IGH rearrangements are amplified using a forward primer in the V gene and a reverse primer in the J gene. The CDR3 region consisting of part of the V gene, the D gene and part of the J gene is indicated. The red arrows represent the region that is sequenced by 454.Back to article page
