Abstract excerpt
BCL-6 is essential for germinal center formation and thus for affinity maturation of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes by somatic mutations. The 5'-noncoding region of the BCL-6 gene is even a target for the mutation machinery. Translocations of the BCL-6 gene to heterologous promoters and mutations of its 5'-noncoding regulatory region were reported to be potential mechanisms for deregulating BCL-6 expression and for...
