Transmission and expression of a specific pair of rearranged immunoglobulin mu and kappa genes in a transgenic mouse line

S Rusconi et al. Nature. 1985.

Abstract

Two genes that code for a hapten-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) have been introduced into the mouse germ line. The transgenic antibody represents 10-50% of the serum IgM and is expressed on the membrane of B cells. B-cell hybridoma lines show that a negative feedback inhibition of mu and kappa transgenic products on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain rearrangement is possible.
