(A) Nucleotide acid sequences of the expressed Ig VH genes from five cases of IgA and/or IgG isotype CLLs. In each cluster, the top amino acid sequences are given for comparison and represent those of the closest reported germline VH gene. The letters below represent differences from the published germline genes. (B) Nucleic acid sequences of the rearranged D and JH genes from five cases of IgA and/or IgG isotype CLL. Each sequence is compared to the known D and JH sequences that have the greatest homology. Identity is indicated by a dot and differences are shown. Solid lines above each cluster depict the CDR sequences. These sequences are available from the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under accession numbers: U22381, U22387, U22388, U22389, U22390, and U22391.
