Abstract excerpt
The process of V(D)J recombination that leads to the assembly of Ig gene segments is tightly controlled during B cell differentiation. Two germline transcripts, one of which (mu(0)) originates from the promoter region of DQ52, may control the accessibility of the heavy chain locus. Here, we present the analysis of a mouse line in which the DQ52 gene together with its regulatory sequences is deleted by a...
