“Repair” of intron-RS recombination-silenced VκJκ genes by restoration of Cκ exon and surrounding elements reveals that silenced κL chains can pair with their original μ chain partner. The graph shows representative results from a μκ ELISA comparing several IgMκ transfectoma antibodies (Tfc) to their IgMλ parental hybridoma antibodies (Hyb). Antibodies in supernatants were captured on plastic using adsorbed anti-μ chain antibodies and revealed with anti-κ conjugates. Bars indicate the SD determined from antibodies assayed in triplicate. The concentrations of the hybridoma antibodies were at least 10-fold higher than those of the transfectoma antibodies based on comparison to a TEPC 183 (μ, κ) standard curve.
