Description
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from a healthy female Tunisian immortalised by EBV transformation. The cell line contains the following deletion, at the homozygous state, in the human immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH on chromosome 14 at 14q32.33), of 6 IGHC genes on both chromosomes 14, deletion I (del G1-EP1-A1-GP-G2-G4). The Gm-Am genotype is Gm5*; - ; - A2m2/Gm5*; - ; - A2m2 (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 (-). An Epstein-Barr-transformed lymphoblastoid cell line with an identical deletion I, at the homozygous state, cell line is available, from one member of another Tunisian family, as EZZ (TOU II-4) (93093003).
