Abstract excerpt
Pax5-deficient progenitor B (pro-B) cells are thought to be severely defective for recombination of all immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) V gene segments, but the mechanism by which Pax5 regulates this process has not been defined. To address this issue, we have examined the assembly of the IgH locus in Pax5-deficient pro-B cells and find, unexpectedly, that 3' IgH V gene segments, which lie closest to the D-J-Cmu...
