Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the DNA sequence structure of the 5' flanking and coding regions of 52 VH186.2-related germ-line genes isolated by PCR from C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice. The aligned coding regions display hypervariable and conserved regions corresponding to some of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and framework regions (FRs) found in somatically mutated rearranged immunoglobulin variable genes. Most of the...
