A method was devised to clone immunoglobulin VH-region genes located on selected restriction fragments from genomic DNA directly into M13 vectors for subsequent nucleotide sequence analysis. Ten recombinant M13 clones representing four so far unknown VH-region genes of the VNP-gene family have been analysed. Sequence comparison shows that these genes are closely related to other VH-genes of the VNP gene family. One of the VH-genes exhibits a so far unobserved unusual length of 100 2/3 codons and appears to be functional. Analysis of the variation of the isolated VH-genes suggests that framework and complementarity determining regions are exposed to separate types of selective pressures.
设计了一种方法,可将基因组DNA选定限制片段上的免疫球蛋白VH区基因直接克隆到M13载体中,以便进行后续核苷酸序列分析。已对代表VNP基因家族4个迄今未知VH区基因的10个重组M13克隆进行了分析。序列比较表明,这些基因与VNP基因家族的其他VH基因密切相关。其中一个VH基因呈现出迄今未观察到的100又2/3个密码子的异常长度,且似乎具有功能。对分离出的VH基因变异的分析表明,构架区和互补决定区受到不同类型的选择压力。
