SUMMARY The first Jacques Monod Conference was held in Roscoff, Brittany on 1–5 June 1987 and dealt with the topic of 'Selection of Lymphocyte Repertoires’(organizers F. W. Alt, Columbia University, New York. P.‐A. Cazenave, Institut Pasteur, Paris and A. Coutinho, Institut Pasteur, Paris). Much of the meeting was concerned with the recent developments in immunoglobulin and T‐cell receptor V region organization and expression. This review is based on the contributions and discussions on Ig V genes, in particular their organization, rearrangements, allelic exclusion and somatic mutation. (Names without references indicate the conference speaker on that topic.)
