Abstract excerpt
The b6w2 allotype of the constant region of the rabbit immunoglobulin kappa 1 (K1) light chain (b locus) was discovered in wild populations from northern Spain. At the serological level, the b6w2 allotype is characterized by the presentation of all b6-specific epitopes, while an allotypic determinant which is shared between the nominal b5 and b6 allotypes is lacking. The DNA fragment encoding the b6w2 allotype...
