Abstract excerpt
Alterations in kappa light chain expression were demonstrated to originate from genomic changes in the L-V intron (L-IVS) which changed the splicing pattern of the kappa mRNA. In R15, a mutant of mouse myeloma W3129 which produces no kappa light chain, a 358 bp novel sequence element (R15ns) of unknown origin replaced 19 bases of wild-type L-IVS, both altering the normal splicing pattern and activating a cryptic...
