"Use of restriction enzymes and recombinant DNA methods allowed resolution of a long standing and central issue in immunology, the genetic origin of antibody diversity. It turned out that an organism does not inherit even a single complete gene for antibody polypeptide chains. Rather, the genetic information is transmitted in germline as no more than several hundred gene segments."
