Abstract excerpt
The V(D)J recombination, which leads to the somatic rearrangement of variable, diversity, and joining segments, is the mechanism accountable for the diversity of T cell receptor- and Ig-encoding genes. The products of the RAG1 and RAG2 genes are the lymphoid-specific factors responsible for the initiation of the V(D)J recombination through the generation of a DNA double strand break. RAG1 or RAG2 gene...
