Abstract excerpt
Targeted disruption of either of the B cell-specific transcription factors Oct-2 or OCA-B/BOB-1/OBF-1 dramatically affects B cell terminal differentiation. The 3' enhancer of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus is important for transcription of the locus in terminal plasma cells. Allele-specific suppression of mutant Oct-2 binding sites in this enhancer by a variant Oct-2 protein revealed that in a mature B...
