We have used the RNA colony blot method to examine VH usage in colonies derived from primary splenic B cells. We found that there are strain-specific differences in the pattern of VH usage. Using parental F1, congenic, and recombinant inbred strains we demonstrate that the genetic element that causes the observed phenotype is: (a) stably expressed; (b) not due to maternal influence; (c) not due to dominate diffusible factors; (d) not linked to cloning efficiency; and (e) outside the Igh locus.
我们使用RNA集落印迹法检测了源自原代脾B细胞的集落中的VH使用情况。我们发现VH使用模式存在品系特异性差异。利用亲代F1、同源近交系和重组近交系,我们证明导致观察到的表型的遗传元件具有以下特点:(a)稳定表达;(b)非母源影响所致;(c)非显性可扩散因子所致;(d)与克隆效率无关;(e)位于Igh基因座之外。
