We determined the specificity and sequence of immunoglobulin molecules synthesized by monoclonal B cells from a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who presented with a number of clinical and biological autoimmune symptoms. Heterohybrids obtained by fusion of CLL cells with the mouse X63-Ag 8.653 myeloma produced IgM lambda MoAbs directed to the cardiolipin/beta 2 glycoprotein I (beta 2GPI) complex and ssDNA. They were devoid of polyreactivity. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the variable domain of the mu chain indicated the utilization of the VH4 71.2 gene or one allotypic variant, DXP4 and JH3 segments. The lambda light chain used the single gene from the V lambda 8 subfamily, J lambda 3 and C lambda 3 genes. The VH gene displayed 11 nucleotide changes in comparison with its putative germline counterpart. However, these nucleotide changes correspond to variations observed in other published VH4 sequences, suggesting gene polymorphism rather than somatic mutation. DXP4 and JH3 were also in germline configuration. The VL gene exhibited a single replacement mutation in CDR1. These data suggest that the monoclonal CLL B cells in this patient retained VH and VL genes in germline configuration although they secreted a pathogenic anti-cardiolipin antibody associated with clinical symptoms, vasculitis and thrombosis, which may be provoked by antibodies to the phospholipid/beta 2GPI complex.
