Nucleotide (A) and amino acid (B) alignments of 17 germline variable (V) region gene segments. Two V groups contained three identical germline gene segments each (highlighted in gray), leaving only 13 unique V gene segments. Boxes surround conserved amino acids. Numbers at the ends of sequences indicate percent identity to the first germline sequence (α/δ V5) within the alignment.
