At the present state of analysis the central part of the kappa locus comprises four contigs of together 1.2 Mb and contains 55 Vkappa genes. It is flanked by the 3' part of the locus with 22 Vkappa genes in 0.4 Mb (T. Kirschbaum et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 1998. 28: 1458-1466) and the 5' part with 63 Vkappa genes in six contigs of together 1.5 Mb (F. Röschenthaler et al., accompanying report). The 5' and the central regions have one large contig in common. A part of the central region is linked to the 3' region resulting in a 1...
