The nucleotide sequence of a human immnnoglobulin C-gamma-1 gene [PDF]
, 1982 We report the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding the constant region of a human immnnoglobulin γ1 heavy chain (Cγ1). A comparison of this sequence with those of the Cγ2 and Cγ4 genes reveals that these three human Cγ genes share considerable homology
