Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, generation of the T- and B-cell repertoire relies on genomic rearrangement of T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin gene coding segments.

Both in humans and in animal models, mutations that abrogate expression of either the Rag1 or Rag2 proteins result in severe combined immune deficiency with a...
