V kappa Ig germ-line genes have been isolated from recombinant clones prepared in separate libraries constructed from adult BALB/c liver DNA. Three different clones that strongly hybridized with a V kappa-GAT-specific probe were completely characterized and sequenced. All three genes exhibited common characteristic features in their sequences encompassing the 5' to the 3' noncoding region, with coding sections 95% homologous. A comparison with other V kappa genes shows that the size of the first intron is variability subgroup specific. Moreover, a direct correlation exists between the size of this intron and the entire length of the coding region. Nucleotide sequences of these genes were compared with V kappa chains expressed at the Ab1 and Ab1' levels of the GAT idiotypic network: Ag----Ab1----Ab2----Ab3 (Ab1'). K1A5 and K5.1 genes account for V kappa chains in Ab1 and Ab1' hybridomas, respectively. The high conservation of Ab1' sequences in light chain was also recently reported for the heavy chains, suggesting that immunization with Ab2 (anti-idiotypic) antibodies preferentially stimulates the direct expression of germ-line genes. K5.1 and K1A5 genes belong to the V kappa-1 variability subgroup and encode, without any amino acid substitution, V kappa domain in myeloma TEPC 105 and MOPC 467, which are V kappa-1A and V kappa-1C subgroup prototypes, respectively. These genes are extensively used in different mouse strains and in a number of antibodies of discrete specificities, such as anti-GAT, anti-DNP, anti-flagellin, anti-phosphorylcholine, anti-digoxin, anti-phenyloxazolone, and anti-DNA.
