AbstractIn mice, 12 germ‐line DH genes belonging to three different families (DQ52, DSP2 and DFL16) have been identified. The DH genes other than DQ52 are clustered in the 60 kb‐long region located between VH and JH genes. Since there are seven DH gene families (DHQ52, DXP, DA, DK, DN, DM and DLR) in humans, we tried to identify new DH gene families in the 60 kb‐long region using human DH gene probes. Mouse and human DH genes showing the highest similarity were mouse DFL16 genes and human DA genes. Southern hybridization of the mouse clones covering the 60‐kb region with human DH probes did not detect any other DH genes. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 4.0‐kb fragment containing the DFL16.1 gene confirmed this conclusion. Comparison of the 12 germ‐line DH genes and more than 150 somatic DH sequences also indicated that there are not more germ‐line DH genes in the mouse genome. Moreover, comparison of nucleotide sequences of DFL16.1 and DSP2.2 genes and their surrounding regions suggests that both DH gene families originate from the same primordial DH gene. Using the flanking sequences of both DH genes, the divergence date between DFL16 and DSP2 genes was estimated at around 37 million years ago.
