    some type of crossover event could be used for splicing of variable and constant region genes at the DNA level

    We can think of no plausible mechanism that would explain the mutant specificity for such recombination, and we consider an explanation of splicing based on mRNA to be a remote possibility. Much more likely, we feel, is that splicing occurs at the level of polypeptide synthesis or between completed polypeptide chains.
