Abstract excerpt
To investigate chromatin control of TCR beta rearrangement and allelic exclusion, we analyzed TCR beta chromatin structure in double negative (DN) thymocytes, which are permissive for TCR beta recombination, and in double positive (DP) thymocytes, which are postallelic exclusion and nonpermissive for Vbeta to DbetaJbeta recombination. Histone acetylation mapping and DNase I sensitivity studies indicate Vbeta and...
