How immunoglobulin V kappa genes rearrange

J Immunol. 1987 Dec 1;139(11):3834-9.

Abstract

Recombination at the immunoglobulin kappa light chain locus creates a complete variable region gene and its reciprocal product. The results presented here show that reciprocal products may be substrates for secondary recombination and that at least one V kappa group rearranges by inversion.
