Here you are: IMGT Web resources > IMGT Repertoire (IG and TR) > 1. Locus and genes

"+" or "-" indicates if the gene sequences have been found (+) or not been found (-) transcribed (T) and/or translated into protein (Pr). Arbitrarily that information is shown on the first line of each gene when the data have been confirmed by several studies.

Functionality is shown between parentheses, (F) and (P), when the accession number refers to rearranged genomic DNA or cDNA and the corresponding germline gene has not yet been isolated.
Functionality is shown between brackets, [F] and [P], when the accession number refers to genomic DNA, but not known as being germline or rearranged.

IMGT notes:
  1. (1) In the IGHA gene, the hinge (H) and CH2 are joined in a single exon.
  2. (2) Canine IgG subclass biological characterization (modified from Table 8 [4]).

    Canine IgGIgG1IgG2IgG3IgG4
    Induction of cytolytic activity (ADCC)--/+++++++--
    Complement binding (human C1q)--/+++++--/+
    Fc gamma receptor I (FcγRI)+++++--/+
    Fc gamma receptor IIb (FcγRIIb)++++
    Fc gamma receptor III (FcγRIII)--+--/+--
    Fc neonatal receptor I (FcRn)++++--/+++
    Reactivity with protein A--/++++----
    Reactivity with protein G++++++++


    '+++' indicates very tight binding or high reactivity, '++' indicates good binding, '+' indicates that some binding was observed, '--/+' indicates little to no activation/binding, and '--' represents no binding. The table has been updated with the canine subclass names IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, instead of A, B, C and D. For comparison with Structural and biological properties of human immunoglobulins, click here.
  3. (3) Noncanonical DONOR-SPLICE: ngc instead of ngt in H2
