ABSTRACT
The immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma (IGHG) gene cluster encoding immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses is highly polymorphic, resulting in amino acid variation along the antibody constant heavy chain referred to as allotypes. IGHG1 and IGHG3 are the two most polymorphic IgG subclasses in humans, with 4 classical IgG1 allotypes and 13 allotypes described for IgG3, though recent studies suggest greater allelic diversity, especially in underrepresented ethnic populations. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing of IGHG amplicons allow for the identification of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for the observed amino acid substitutions. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for the amplification of IGHG1 and IGHG3 segments by PCR, sample preparation for Sanger sequencing, and analysis of sequencing data to identify SNPs associated with different IgG1 and IgG3 allotypes.
