immune system
• the heavy chain encoded by the knocked-in allele is paired with a very limited repertoire of kappa light chains with the majority of these being from the Vkappa12/13 family
• these kappa light chains disrupt the DNA-binding ability of the heavy chain so that no B cells outside the bone marrow produce antibodies that bind double-stranded DNA
