Abstract excerpt
The carboxyterminal region of the heavy chains, according to its hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties, determines whether the immunoglobulin will be secreted or membrane-bound. We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the human IGHG3, IGHA1, and IGHA2 membrane exons isolated from genomic DNA libraries. The IGHG3 M1 and M2 exons are separated by a long intron of 2.1 kilobases (kb) containing an highly...
