Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism in the IGKV2-29 gene was shown to decrease the recombination frequency in B cells and to be important for immune responses to Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide. By using the combination of PCR and restriction enzyme mapping, the distribution of IGKV2D-29 and IGKV2-29 gene alleles was estimated in two geographically and ethnically different groups. We found that V2D-29*01 homozygous...
