Objective.To study the Ig genes that encode IgG rheumatoid factor (IgG‐RF) from rheumatoid synovial fluid.Methods.We used rheumatoid synovial fluid B cells to generate IgG‐RF–secreting hybridomas. We then characterized their binding properties and determined their nucleotide sequences.Results.Two monospecific IgG‐RFs were obtained. Sequence analysis of the RFs revealed a new Vλ gene family (designated Vλ9) and extensive somatic diversification, including a duplication‐insertion of 18 nucleotides (6 amino acid residues) into a hypervariable region.Conclusion.The data provide further support for an antigen‐driven response in the sustained production of potentially pathogenic IgG‐RFs in rheumatoid synovium.
