We have applied bacteriophage display technology to construct and analyze the diversity of an IgG library of >1 x 108 clones from an adult sheep immunized against the hapten atrazine. We have identified eight new VH gene families (VH2-VH9) and five new Vkappa gene families (VkappaV-VkappaIX). The heavy and kappa light chain variable region gene loci were found to be far more diverse than previously thought.
