title: Joining of V kappa to J kappa gene segments in a retroviral vector introduced into lymphoid cells.
abstract: V kappa to J kappa recombination occurred within a DNA construct introduced into cells in the form of a defective retrovirus. Analysis of one recombinant demonstrated that V kappa-J kappa joining can occur via inversion with a net loss of a few base pairs.
