Abstract excerpt
Four allelic forms of the immunoglobulin lambda light chain constant region (C lambda) genes are found in the caucasoid population and are recognised by the presence of Eco RI restriction fragments of sizes 8, 13, 18, and 23 kb hybridising with a C lambda probe. The less common allelic forms of t...
