A heteromobility duplex tracking assay was developed to analyze
B-cell clonality. The assay was based on the genetic variability of
B-cell immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences. Binding of amplified (Ig)
sequences to a single-stranded radiolabeled Ig DNA probe resulted in
the formation of heteroduplexes. The mobilities of these heteroduplexes
helped to distinguish clonal B cells.
