Abstract excerpt
Although many B lymphocytes contain two completely rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy (H) chain genes, only one of the alleles specifies a protein product. This phenomenon is termed allelic exclusion and is controlled in part by the membrane portion of Ig H chains. We have identified a mature B cell line derived from murine bone marrow that expresses two H chain proteins, gamma 3 and gamma 2b. Proteins of...
