Received October 29, 1984. Accepted December 19, 1984.

We have demonstrated that the chromosomal breakpoint at 22q11 of a Burkitt lymphoma cell line (PA682) with an 8;22 translocation interrupts the variable region of the lambda light chain locus. In these cells, all of the C{lambda} and some V{lambda} sequences translocate to the 8q+ chromosome whereas some V{lambda} sequences remain on the 22q–. These results indicate that the lambda light chain locus on the long arm of chromosome 22 is oriented such that V{lambda} is proximal to C{lambda}.
