Transgenic mice containing a microinjected rearranged Ig .mu.H chain gene were examined for the effects on DNA rearrangement of the endogenous Ig genes. Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) cell lines were isolated from pre-B cells of transgenic mice and of normal littermates. Microinjected .mu. gene RNA and a .mu.H chain protein were synthesized in every transgenic A-MuLV cell line. Only 10% of normal mouse A-MuLV transformants synthesized .mu. protein. A germ-line JH allele was observed in 40% of the transgenic lines, demonstrating that the block to endogenous Ig DNA rearrangement occurred at the 1st step of H chain DNA joining. All alleles were rearranged in normal mouse A-MuLV lines. Germline JH alleles were also detected in 10% of the transgenic hybridomas derived from proliferating B cells. The results support a model of active prevention of rearrangement by the product of successfully rearranged .mu. genes.
