MOLECULAR GENETICS OF IMMUNOGLOUBLINS
How can the bifunctional nature of antibodies be explained genetically?
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

A single C region gene is

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

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)
