Abstract excerpt
To investigate whether somatic hypermutation occurs in multiple myeloma (MM) Ig VH region genes, we have cloned and sequenced the expressed VH genes from five cases of MM. The sequences were obtained after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on total RNA isolated from the bone marrow, using 5' VH family-specific leader and 3' C gamma- or C alpha-specific primers. MM-specific CDR3 oligonucleotides were produced to...
