CELL LINES
Contributor Information
- Name Pranab K Das
Tool Details
- Tool name: Immortalised AID deficient B Cell Line
- Alternate names: Activation-induced Cytidine Deaminase, AICDA
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Parental cell line: B cells from AID deficient patient
- Organism: Human
- Disease: Hyper IgM Syndrome type 2
- Growth properties: Maintain at 3x105 to 7x105 cells per ml for optimal growth. Replenish growth medium twice per week
- Model: Immortalised Line
- Conditional: No
- Description: Can be used as antigen presenting cells. Hyper IgM syndromesÄÂ? is a group ofÄÂ? primary immune deficiency disordersÄÂ? characterised by defectiveÄÂ? CD40ÄÂ? signalling;ÄÂ? viaÄÂ? B cellsÄÂ? affectingÄÂ? class switch recombinationÄÂ? (CSR) andÄÂ? somatic hyper mutation.ÄÂ? ImmunoglobulinÄÂ? (Ig) class switch recombination deficiencies are characterised by elevated serumÄÂ? Immunoglobulin MÄÂ? (IgM) levels and a considerable deficiency inÄÂ? Immunoglobulins GÄÂ? (IgG),ÄÂ? AÄÂ? (IgA) andÄÂ? EÄÂ? (IgE). As a consequence, people with HIGM have decreased concentrations of serum IgG and IgA and normal or elevated IgM, leading to increased susceptibility to infections. Hyper IgM Syndrome type 2 (autosomal recessive), is characterised by mutations of the AICDA gene. In this type, B cells cannot recombine genetic material to change heavy chain production
- Research area: Cell biology; Immunology
- Production details: B Cells were isolated from PBMCs of AID deficient Hyper IgM Syndrome patients using standards methods. B cells were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus.
