Abstract excerpt
The helix-loop-helix proteins E47 and E12, which are encoded by the E2A gene, regulate several stages of T cell development. In addition, mice deficient for E2A are highly susceptible to thymic lymphoma. Here we report that the development of lymphoma in E2A-deficient mice did not require pre- and recombinase-activating gene expression. Rather, we found that, whereas illegitimate DNA rearrangement did not play a...
