Early death and severe lymphopenia caused by ubiquitous expression of the Rag1 and Rag2 genes in mice.
European journal of immunology - 1 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt
The recombination activating proteins (RAG1 and RAG2) are essential for V(D)J recombination of immunoglobulin chains. Expression of both genes is lymphocyte-specific and RAG levels are tightly regulated throughout lymphopoiesis and cell cycle. To assess the significance of this pattern of expression, we generated transgenic mice expressing the Rag genes both continuously throughout lymphocyte development and...
