IMGT RFLP allele nomenclature

IMGT RFLP allele nomenclature for Ig and TcR of all vertebrates

IMGT general rules

RFLP alleles are described for the germline V-GENEs, D-GENEs and J-GENEs, and for the C-GENEs, from Ig and TcR of all vertebrate species.

IMGT RFLP allele names

RFLP allele names of the V-GENEs, D-SEGMENTs, J-SEGMENTs and C-GENEs comprise the IMGT gene name followed by an asterisk, a capital letter and a number. The letters are given chronologically, in alphabetic order. A given letter corresponds to (a) defined enzyme(s) and a defined probe, with the numbers corresponding to the different RFLP alleles.

IMGT RFLP allele representations

RFLP allele representations

RFLP alleles and frequencies are reported in Probes and RFLP of the IMGT Repertoire.
