Abstract
We describe the structure of the major germ line RNA transcribed from unrearranged immunoglobulin alpha heavy-chain genes in immunoglobulin M-expressing cells of the I.29 mu B-cell lymphoma, a cell line capable of switching to immunoglobulin A expression upon lipopolysaccharide treatment. This germ line alpha RNA has a small open reading frame that does not include the C alpha domain, and this RNA appears to be present on polysomes in I.29 mu cells.
