RESUMO

Two different kappa light chain genes have previously been isolated from one mouse myeloma. The V (variable, abbreviations in ref. 2) gene segments of the two genes were now used to identify their germline counterparts in EcoRI digests of mouse liver DNA. In addition two sets of related V gene segments were found which hybridize with either of the two DNA probes. Five of the V region fragments of one set were cloned in a lambda phage vector and partially characterized by restriction mapping and Southern blot hybridization. Repetitive DNA sequences were found on each of the five fragments as well as on other cloned immunoglobulin gene containing fragments. Cross-hybridization between some but not all of the regions containing repetitive DNA sequences was observed.
