Peripheral blood lymphocytes from a male Tunisian immortalised by EBV transformation. The cell line contains the following deletions, at the homozygous state, in the human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region locus (IGH chromosome 14q32.3): deletion I (del G1-EP1-A1-GP-G2-G4) Gm-Am genotype Gm b; -; -A2m2/Gm b ; -; -A2m2. Gm allotypes are indicated in the order G3m; G1m; G2m. The absence of G1m and G2m allotypes due to the deletion of the IGHG1 and IGHG2 genes is indicated by (-). The EZZ deletion (deletion I), which encompasses 160 kb involves two highly homologous regions located 13 kb downstream of IGHG3 and 13 kb downstream of IGHG4.
