Abstract excerpt
The expressed human immunoglobulin Vlambda repertoire demonstrates a strong bias in the use of individual Vlambda segments. Mechanisms that underlie such biases can be divided into two categories: intrinsic genetic processes that lead to the preferential rearrangement and/or expression of certain segments; and selection following light chain expression. Here, we have used two approaches to investigate the factors...
