abstractText | Four potentially productive and two non-productive VDJ gene segments were isolated from the DNA of mouse B-lymphocytes which had been polyclonally activated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Three VDJ regions exhibit VH genes which stem from two novel VH gene families. The complexity of these families is 5-9 genes. One of the non-productive VDJ regions exhibits a D segment which may have been generated by joining of two DSP2 segments. Both non-productive VDJ regions appear to contain rearranged pseudo VH genes. Three potential somatic mutations distributed over two productive VDJ regions are observed. |
