In 1965, Dreyer & Bennett proposed that for a single isotype of antibody there may be: • A single C region gene encoded in the GERMLINE and separate from the V region genes • Multiple choices of V region genes available • A mechanism to rearrange V and C genes in the genome so that they can fuse to form a complete Immunoglobulin gene. This was genetic heresy as it violated the then accepted notion that DNA was identical in every cell of an individual Proof of the Dreyer - Bennett hypothesis V V V V V V V V V V V V C V V A single C region gene is encoded in the germline and separated from the multiple V region genes C A mechanism to rearrange V and C genes in the genome exists so that they can fuse to form a complete Immunoglobulin gene Find a way to show the existence of multiple V genes and rearrangement to the C gene Approach V V V V V V V V V V V V C V Germline DNA C Rearranged DNA V Tools: • A set of cDNA probes to specifically distinguish V regions from C regions • DNA restriction enzymes to fragment DNA • Examples of germline (e.g. placenta) and mature B cell DNA (e.g. a plasmacytoma/myeloma) The experiment of Susumi Tonegawa 1976 * * V-CmRNS probe CmRNS probe * * V C Embryonal cell * * V C B-cell CONCLUSION V and C genes get close to each other in B-cells only V V V C B-CELL There are many variable genes but only one constant gene V V V V C GERM LINE Gén Fehérje GÉN SZEGMENSEK SZOMATIKUS ÁTRENDEZŐDÉSE EGY GÉNNÉ Ig gene sequencing complicated the model The structures of germline VL genes were similar for Vk, and Vl, However there was an anomaly between germline and rearranged DNA: ?
