Abstract excerpt
We recently characterized the allelic variants of the human Sgamma4 region which makes it possible to accurately identity and map Smu-Sgamma4 fragments from in vivo switched B cells. Twenty-six fragments were identified and a comparison was made with all previously published Smu-Sgamma sequences ( n = 82). Switch recombination outside the region flanking the Sgamma repeat sequence is a rare event in vivo and...
