Abstract excerpt
To define members of previously unknown VH gene families, a channel catfish immunoglobulin heavy chain cDNA library was constructed and screened with probes specific for the seven known catfish VH families. Reiterative screening and sequence studies defined six new VH families, designated VH8-VH13, which brings the total number of VH families in the catfish to 13. This is the highest number of VH families...
