Fig. 1 Status of the Ig constant region genes. A, Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from a control subject (C) and the patient (P) . DNA was digested with Bam HI and hybridized with a Cγ4 probe (left panel) or with Pst I and hybridized with a Cα probe (right panel) . The bands corresponding to each constant region gene are indicated to the left of each panel. The duplicate Cγ4/ψCγ bands in the control sample correspond to alleles indistinguishable because of Bam HI restriction site polymorphisms.21 B, Map of the human Ig heavy chain locus in germline configuration. The constant region genes deleted from both alleles of the patient are indicated in the dotted box . The regions where the probes bound are indicated and color coded.
