Function

Constant region of immunoglobulin light chains. Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are membrane-bound or secreted glycoproteins produced by B lymphocytes. In the recognition phase of humoral immunity, the membrane-bound immunoglobulins serve as receptors which, upon binding of a specific antigen, trigger the clonal expansion and differentiation of B lymphocytes into immunoglobulins-secreting plasma cells. Secreted immunoglobulins mediate the effector phase of humoral immunity, which results in the elimination of bound antigens (PubMed:20176268, PubMed:22158414). The antigen binding site is formed by the variable domain of one heavy chain, together with that of its associated light chain. Thus, each immunoglobulin has two antigen binding sites with remarkable affinity for a particular antigen. The variable domains are assembled by a process called V-(D)-J rearrangement and can then be subjected to somatic hypermutations which, after exposure to antigen and selection, allow affinity maturation for a particular antigen (PubMed:17576170, PubMed:20176268).

Activity summary

The kappa light chain alternatively known as Ig kappa chain is a component of immunoglobulins which are important for immune response. This protein has a molecular mass of roughly 25 kDa. It predominantly expresses in B lymphocytes where it pairs with heavy chains to form antibodies. Its expression is indicative of mature B cell functions serving as a marker for certain types of immune cells. The kappa light chain can also be detected outside of cells circulating in the blood and other bodily fluids.

Biological function summary

Kappa light chains are integral to the structure and function of antibodies. As part of the immunoglobulin molecule these chains contribute to antigen specificity by combining with heavy chains. Together they form the antigen-binding site. The kappa light chain is not part of a multiprotein complex; rather it directly participates in the antibody response. The presence of either kappa or lambda light chains can determine the particularities of antibody characteristics.

Pathways

Kappa light chains are elements of the immunological pathways notably the adaptive immune response. They interact with other proteins like immunoglobulin heavy chains to neutralize pathogens. The constant region of the kappa chain plays a role in determining the isotype of immunoglobulins which affects how antibodies mediate immune effector functions. Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin by antigens can trigger B cell activation an essential step in the adaptive immune system.

Associated diseases and disorders

Kappa light chains associate closely with multiple myeloma and certain types of lymphomas. Overproduction of kappa light chains in these diseases results in high levels detectable in the serum or urine which can be used diagnostically as markers. Also dysregulation of kappa chains correlates with autoimmune disorders whereby the immune system incorrectly targets its tissues. In disorders like these the interplay between kappa and lambda chains often arises showing imbalance between the two as a sign of abnormal B cell activity.

    ELISA - HRP Anti-Kappa light chain antibody [EPR5367-8] (ab202549)

    ab202549 was tested using a sandwich ELISA approach. The wells were coated with Anti-Human Kappa Light Chain antibody [RM126] Anti-Human Kappa Light Chain antibody [RM126] ab195576 at 2μg/ml at 50μl/well overnight at 4°C, followed by a 5% BSA blocking step for 2h RT. Native Human Kappa Light Chain (Biorad) was then added starting at 40 μg/ml and plasma/serum at 1:200 and gradually diluted 1:4, 50μl/well for 2h. ab202549 was then added at 1:10,000 dilution, 50μl/well for 2h.

    Western blot - HRP Anti-Kappa light chain antibody [EPR5367-8] (ab202549)

    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% milk before being incubated with ab202549 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was visualised using ECL development solution ECL Substrate Kit (High Sensitivity) ab133406.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - HRP Anti-Kappa light chain antibody [EPR5367-8] (ab202549)

    IHC image of human kappa light chain staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human tonsil*, performed on a Leica Bond system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab202549, at 1/100 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    Staining corresponds to B cells expressing IgG commonly found in lymphoid follicles of human tonsil.

    The inset background control image is taken from an identical assay without added antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - HRP Anti-Kappa light chain antibody [EPR5367-8] (ab202549)

    Negative IHC image of human kappa light chain staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebral cortex*, performed on a Leica Bond system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab202549, at 1/50 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    Staining corresponds to immunoglobulins found in serum. As expected, staining diminishes further into the brain tissue due to the action of the blood-brain barrier.

    The inset background control image is taken from an identical assay without added antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
