Abstract: | By using a defined cDNA probe for the VH region of a murine phosphocholine-binding myeloma protein (S107) we have defined a family of distinct cross-hybridizing DNA sequences in genomic DNA of the goldfish. The estimated number of the goldfish putative VH family detectable by the S107 probe is about 36. By using two putative goldfish VH probes to analyze, by hybridization, the relationships among seven of the goldfish genomic clones, we have determined that the putative goldfish VH genes recognized by the S107 probe comprise at least several distinct families that are not closely related. |
