Five families of variable region genes of mouse kappa chains were analyzed by Southern blot hybridization to determine their relative chromosomal map positions. Map positions were deduced by VKgene deletion from anti-body-producing cells expressing upstream VKgenes and retention in cells expressing downstream genes. The VKregions expressed in the myelomas M0PC167, MPC11, M0PC21 and ABPC2O are members of VKfamilies exhibiting one, three, six and six major germline hybridization bands respectively. The gene order of the five families in germline DNA was found to be Vm167YM11 - (VM21. VA20) - VABE8- JK- ck. As expected in a deletion model of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, a sequence located just 5′ of J1in germline DNA was found to be absent from some antibody producing cells which had not retained any germline CKgenes. However, other cell lines contained this sequence in rearranged contexts, suggesting that any deletion model of immunoglobulin V-J joining, as well as V gene mapping, must take into account the possibilities of stepwise rearrangements and reintegration of “deleted” DNA.
