Abstract In the proposed system for genetic nomenclature of the immunoglobulin loci of the mouse, the heavy-, kappa-, and lambda-chain regions are designatedIgh, Igk, andIgl, respectively. The constant subregions are designatedIgh-C, Igk-C, andIgl-C, and individual loci in these subregions are designated by Arabic numbers following the hyphen and assigned chronologically, for example,Igh-1, Igh-2, Igl-1, etc. The variable subregions are designatedIgh-V, Igk-V, andIgl-V, and individual loci in these subregions are designated by a two- or three-letter symbol or two letters and a number following the hyphen, for example,Igh-Dex, Igh-Pc, andIgk-Ef 1. The symbol following the hyphen for variable-region loci should be related to the antigen for which the immunoglobulin is specific or to the method used for recognizing the variants.
