Sequence diversity in the human antibody repertoire is generated in two steps: by the combinatorial assembly of V gene segments and by somatic hypermutation. Here, we have characterised these processes for the lambda (lambda) light chain using a library of 7600 lambda cDNA clones from peripheral blood lymphocytes. By hybridisation and sequencing we found that most lambda chains are derived from the cluster of...
