The arrangement of the genes for the mouse H chain subclasses .gamma.2b, and .gamma.2a and .gamma.1 was examined by the Southern hybridization procedure. Evidence was found for rearrangement involving the .gamma.2b and .gamma.2a CH [H chain constant region] genes in the DNA of cells making Ig[immunoglobulin]G2b and IgG2a, respectively. The DNA of an IgG2b-secreting line lacks detectable C.gamma.1 gene, while the DNA of an IgG2a-secreting line lacks detectable C.gamma.1 and C.gamma.2b genes. The DNA of a cell line secreting IgA lacks detectable C.gamma. genes. These observations implicate deletion in the mechanism of the H-chain switch and allow a preliminary ordering of some of the CH genes in the mouse genome.
