RT-PCR indicates reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction.

F5-150

The junctional region is described as the number of bases lost at the 3′ end of the V segment followed by randomly inserted nucleotides and the number of bases lost from the 5′ end of the J segment.

F5-151

Frame of the junctional region: +, in-frame, without stop codons in the junctional region; −, out-of-frame.

F5-152

ND, not determined; NI, not identified; +, present; −, absent.

F5-153

+ indicates V segments with more than 2% somatic mutations; −, less than 2% somatic mutations; NI, not identified, because the rearrangement could not be amplified.

F5-155

Vλ2-5 is a pseudogene and, therefore, not functional.

F5-154

Based on Southern blot data.
