Salivary gland lymphoma CDR3 sequences.
PCR products obtained from amplification with FW3-JH1 or FW3-JH2 primers were either directly sequenced or cloned and multiple clones sequenced as indicated on the right (additional identical CDR3 sequences were also obtained from the more full length VH PCR products). Each sequenced is compared with the germline D and J segments showing the greatest homology where identity is indicated by a dash. The bolded entries in the deduced amino acid sequences from cases 1 to 5 highlight the conserved motifs at the V-D and D-J junctions referred to in the text.
