V kappa gene family expression among LPS-reactive murine B lymphocytes, unlike that of VH gene families, is not proportional to genomic complexity, i.e., nonstoichiometric. Furthermore, no positional bias for the overexpression of J-proximal V kappa genes (V kappa 21) is observed among neonatal B lymphocytes. Yet, the V kappa 1 and V kappa 9 families located in the center of V kappa locus are preferentially used by neonatal B splenocytes. Thus, the mechanisms of V kappa gene rearrangement and expression appear to differ significantly from those controlling the VH locus.
与VH基因家族不同,LPS反应性小鼠B淋巴细胞中的Vκ基因家族表达与基因组复杂性不成比例,即非化学计量的。此外,在新生B淋巴细胞中未观察到J近端Vκ基因(Vκ21)过表达的位置偏向性。然而,位于Vκ基因座中心的Vκ1和Vκ9家族优先被新生B脾细胞使用。因此,Vκ基因重排和表达的机制似乎与控制VH基因座的机制有显著差异。
