摘要: The variable regions of mouse kappa (kappa) chains are coded for by multiple (V) gene segments and joining (J) segments. V code residues 1 to 95; the J 96 108 (refs 1-3). This organisation is similar that encoding lambda regions. Diversity in arises from several sources: (1) there germ-line segments; (2) combinatorial with different germline possibly, (3) somatic point mutation, as postulated Also, a comparison number amino acid sequences, it has been suggested region sequences may be determined way joined. report supports this model directly associating various given
