We cloned overlapping DNA segments that encompass the region from the immunoglobulin JH segments to the C gamma 3 gene of BALB/c mouse. We have now cloned the entire region (about 200 kilobases) of the constant-region gene family of the immunoglobulin heavy chain, the organization of which is 5'-JH-6.5 kb-C mu-4.5 kb-C delta-55 kb-C gamma 3-34 kb-C gamma 1-21 kb-C gamma 2b-15 kb-C gamma 2a-14 kb-C epsilon-12 kb-C alpha-3'. Using these cloned DNAs, we have characterized several structural… CONTINUE READING
