Abstract excerpt
We cloned and analyzed the gene (IGHG3) encoding cattle IgG3 using a spleen cDNA library and a genomic phage clone. IGHG3 differs most remarkably from IGHG1 and IGHG2 in the structure of its hinge. The IGHG3 hinge is encoded by two exons, one of which encodes a 22 amino acid 3' extension of the CH1 exon. The IGHG3 gene is highly homologous to the C-gamma pseudogene previously reported. Seventy-one DNA samples...
