Rabbit antibodies to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) immunoglobulin were affinity purified and used to screen cDNA libraries from spleen and head kidney mRNA. cDNA clones for both the secretory and membrane-bound heavy (H) chain were isolated, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of which are reported here. Comparisons of the cod secretory H chain amino acid sequence show 24%, 27%, 30% identity to the mu chain of Mus, Xenopus and Ictalurus, respectively. The highest degree of identity was observed in the CH4 domain. The cDNA encoding the transmembrane form shows a novel splicing pattern where the TM1 exon is spliced directly onto the CH3 domain and not to the CH4 domain as in other animal groups. Southern blot analyses with VH and C probes on genomic DNA from cod erythrocytes indicate that there is a unique C gene but several V genes in the cod immunoglobulin H chain locus.
