| Abstract | To determine whether a foreign unrearranged immunoglobulin gene can be functionally rearranged and expressed in vivo, a rabbit b9 kappa light chain gene construct containing a single germ-line kappa chain variable (V) region gene (V kappa), the five kappa chain joining (J) segments (J kappa), and the kappa chain constant (C) region germ-line gene (C kappa) was introduced into fertilized mouse eggs. Eleven transgenic mice carrying 1-30 copies of the rabbit kappa gene construct were obtained. Rearrangement of the transgene due to V kappa-J kappa recombination was observed in the spleen of all the mice lines analyzed. Only the J kappa 1 and J kappa 2 segments, which have canonical sequences for rearrangement and high-level expression, are utilized in assembly of the rabbit gene. V kappa-J kappa 1 and V kappa-J kappa 2 joining was also observed in the thymus but not in nonlymphoid tissue. Polyadenylylated rabbit kappa chain transcripts of 1.2 kilobases were found in the spleen of the transgenic mice. The level of transcription was low despite a high level of rearrangement. Three transgenic mice lines secreted kappa light chains encoded by the foreign rabbit gene. Serum rabbit kappa chains were associated with mouse mu and gamma 1 heavy chains. However, hybrid antibody molecules containing both rabbit and mouse kappa light chains were also found in the serum of these animals. These results suggest that, although the rabbit kappa chain gene construct contains the necessary sequences for gene assembly, sequences implicated in stage- and tissue-specific regulation of kappa chain gene rearrangement are either missing or not recognized by mouse lymphoid cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
