Abstract

cDNA library in the lambda gt11 phage was constructed using poly (A+)-mRNA from mink spleen as a template. Immunoscreening of the library allowed the identification of 2 lambda-related clones containing 370 and 803 bp insertion (lambda IGL-1 and lambda IGL-2). Analysis of the primary structure of lambda IGL-2 demonstrated that it contains a large portion of V lambda-segment, J lambda-segment, C lambda-gene and its 3'-untranslated part. The nucleotide sequences known for the immunoglobulin genes were compared to the sequence of the lambda IGL-2 clone. The highest degree of homology was established for the rabbit lambda-genes, this being 63, 94 and 72% for the RF3 region of V lambda-segment, J lambda-segment and C lambda-region, respectively.
