Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that a mutation of the KI-KII site immediately 5' to J(kappa)1 on the mouse immunoglobulin light chain kappa locus reduces the rearrangement level in cis, although it does not affect transcription. Here we deleted by homologous recombination in mouse embryonic stem cells a 4-kb DNA fragment, located immediately upstream of the KI-KII element, which contains the promoter of the long...
