Abstract excerpt
Ag receptor gene loci contain many V gene segments, each of which is recombined and expressed at a different frequency and is subject to allelic exclusion. To probe the parameters that mediate the different levels of regulation of V gene rearrangement, a Vbeta gene segment together with 3.6-kb 5' and 0.7-kb 3' flanking sequences was inserted 6.8 kb upstream of the Dbeta1 gene segment in the murine TCRbeta locus....
