A VpreB3 homologue in a marsupial, the gray short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica
A VpreB surrogate light (SL) chain was identified for the first time in a marsupial, the opossum Monodelphis domestica. Comparing the opossum VpreB to homologues from eutherian (placental mammals) and avian speci...

The complexity of expressed kappa light chains in egg-laying mammals
Complementary DNAs encoding immunoglobulin light chains were isolated from two monotreme species, Ornithorhynchus anatinus (duckbill platypus) and Tachyglossus aculeatus (echidna). The sequences of both the varia...
