Abstract excerpt
The human immunoglobulin kappa light chain (IgK) locus includes multiple variable region gene segments (Vk) that can be divided into four subgroups. Oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify specifically gene segments of the VkI, VkII, and VkIII subgroups using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Product sequences were subcloned, sequenced, and compared. Phylogenetic analyses of sequences within each...
