Allelic exclusion at the TCRbeta locus.
Current opinion in immunology - 1 Apr 2002
Khor Bernard, Sleckman Barry P
Abstract excerpt
Assembly of TCRbeta chain variable-region genes is regulated in the context of allelic exclusion. Differential epigenetic modifications of the two TCRbeta alleles established early in embryonic development may be important for permitting allelic exclusion by ordering rearrangement of the two alleles in double-negative thymocytes. Expression of a TCRbeta chain, as part of the pre-TCR complex, activates signaling...
