Localization in mouse-L-Cell chromosomal sites of transferred immunoglobulin genes. 1982

F Fittler, and J Bogenberger, and M Steinmetz

Mouse thymidine kinase negative (tk-) L-cells were cotransformed with two different kappa light chain genes (cloned from mouse myeloma) and the tk gene from Herpes simplex virus I. (Transformation is defined as change in the genotype by introduction of foreign DNA.) About 80% of the tk+ -transformants contained varying amounts of transferred kappa light chain sequences, one transformant about 150 copies per genome. The transferred immunoglobulin genes appear to be organized in a nucleosomal substructure, as deduced from digestion experiments with micrococcal nuclease. In situ hybridization experiments revealed, that the transferred genes are not distributed randomly across the chromosomes of the recipient cell. Instead they are clustered at one or a few chromosomal locations.

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
