An additional family of VH sequences in the channel catfish.
A heavy chain variable region cDNA sequence of the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) prototypical for a new VH family (approximately 20 or more members) is presented. The nucleotide and inferred amino acid sequences differ by 32-52% and 41-68%, respectively, from those for the already described catfish VH families.
